silent in two 
parallel lines;
eyelashes
resting on cheekbones
stealing glances at
parted lips
gasping
 (a breathy rancor) 
                      rolling down your neck

rough tipped 
ink stain fingers_
an energetic 

                   sieze


the light pouring through 
open doorways 
swallowed in an 
instant
pumping.heavy;thick
liquid;
explosive 
bottlenecked sinews
scream beauty 
at the 
instant of release,
soaking fibers and beading on your
skin.
somnambulist
satisfaction takes hold, twisting
lips into a peaceful
mischief, and i
paint you white

                          with the tips of my fingers.
