Where All’s Fair

My name giggled
Through out-of-breath genuine glee
Commanding that I cease
And then continue again
While watering, sparkling, half-open eyes
Reflect back that we’ve gone home

My name spoken
Through no-longer-resisting resignation
Smiling as we sigh 
Deciding whether we’re done
While fingers feeling eager to begin again
Take it upon themselves to tangle

Overheated Again

You’d be proud

You finally sat still

And let my overheated body crash onto

What I think was your chest

While some big-eyed, long-legged, bubble-blowing bug

Dug in

And giggled at the whole thing

Whose eyes were more sleepy – yours or mine?

A movie we couldn’t have missed

It was epic

And here I am overheated again

Or it could have been your shoulder before 

Epic, I said
