Teasing wonder

Fire carries her

to me,

urges me forward,

dream-close

I fold around her

and am enfolded, my

face awash in her scent,

I close my eyes

as she kisses me

Fingers trace our

edges, lift our shirts

I pull the small of her back,

our stomachs bare, press

against each other

We inhale, hold our breath

Time stops

Pulled from the world by 

this simple connection,

our bodies seek

teasing wonder
