CLOSED EYES

               She bit his lip, heat of breath through teethed light-hold in steady bursts upon his face; cradle of hands in hold to his cheeks, fixed-focus stilled to hers; close of her arms against her sides, bent, and forearms’ pin between their chests in bodies’ and blanket’s wrap; tighten of her stomach, crumple of its […]
