the home life

the home life

A Poem by Daniel Atkinson
"

Play house? Who's playing?

"
leave the windows open
it's a high of 74, love,
chance of rain but i'll take that chance
curtains sway
we sway

and now we are
lying on the couch until
it leaves marks on our skin
i'll kiss the ridges and swirls
on your elbows your thighs your cheek
my hand on the swell of your breast
we'll miss the movie

breathless now, damp and tired
forecast was wrong; high of 86, more like
the sweat pools
we'll stay here on the couch
i've got no job, nowhere to be
only with you
stay
here
till the sun dips down and the air grows cool

the morning comes and
we haven't moved
the couch has left its mark on us
matching swirls on our cheeks
i'll lay them together

stay with me, lay with me
