Silence
Breasts bared in a cool dark room,
Nipples stand and swell in the glow of iniquity,
This is how he’ll remember it-
Just an outline, a vague light creeping
From beneath silken drapes, closed for privacy.
Tilted hips on a soft white bed.
The fragile trill of her laughter beneath the palm of his hand
Resting in her stomach’s soft hollow.
Where he traces the words
That threaten to escape him. The timid silence of need
Rendering him speechless.
Longing and holding in the late afternoon
Laced with impending heartbreak.
