you offered to nestle with me
like spoons between sheets of secrecy
flesh scented
our cloak of hastily garbed chastity
"caring"
"comfort"
"friends"
cotton nothings on the loins of our thoughts
right calf crossing mine
fingers mesh
then drift
a tattoo of hesitation drumming awareness on flesh
the sun arises to shadow
we flight toward a limited horizon
two spoons
closed off then, by a brilliant billowing darkness
shut away
utilitarian in nature
