WINTER GAME

               From recess of room and shadowed safe, he moved her back into edge of light, dividing sense of sun and cool, his touch bridging between.  His body in same of divide and the shade, love lighting, warming, gifting glow, even shadowed skin.

               Wide of her eyes in under of lay, deep breaths that swelled her chest; her glow in the ready, her glow in receive, in make of her strong love’s need; change of her kiss, of both gentle and force, falling away as he took to her neck; deep swells and breaths, her chest to his; his answer of own love-press.

               Glow in the build, glow in the high, glow through the shudder fall and into after-peace.  Bodies lit, spirits same; again and again, in love and winter game.
