until the next negotiation

until the next negotiation

 

 

errant touch,

accidental entreaty

a wisp of sensitivity 

she's so close

he can feel her heartbeat in his

 

tongues swim in aloof arbitration

but no settlement ensues

they just agree on principle

and then roll over with apt appreciation

 

until morning's contract

has them going separate ways.

Ha this seems like how a romance between two lawyers would play out. :))
I really liked "she's so close
he can feel her heartbeat in his"-- makes for an interesting visual. Also, "aloof arbitration" sounds pretty good!
