Dirt on Her Shoes

There was never a moment
When decency was NOT an option
The tax was never placed
On common friendship
It was always there
For free
 
Free
Funny the lack of value
That can be placed

A woman you can call
When you need advice
A listening ear
A woman who already knows
The weaknesses you try

Dare You Deny Me?

Caught
too many times
by your staring eyes

You panting
Against my neck
The sound
Of hunger
I know it well
Play it back
To you
As I turn around
Succumbing
And seducing
Strumming leg
Across your torso
Like a violin,
Music rising up
And holding
At crescendo—
Oh, the places
We’d go
With stringed metaphors—
Tell me,
 Who’s playing who?
 
Pocket
The moment
When honesty
Clutched your thigh
And massaged
My breast
When agonizing
Longing
Held up our sleep,
Two frustrated [...]
