Morning After

So much is captured in the entwined embrace of fingers

on top of the casual folds of the morning paper. Invading

sunlight attempts to compete for attention and beauty,

enveloping her hand dangling along her inner thigh, caressing

her womb, wrapping the length of her thigh, rejoicing with

an unapologetic knee. The light tickles his fingers too,

celebrating his knuckles, but the light can't enter into her soft,

dark places. The embrace says that he's been there to

celebrate those secrets with her. He may not be invited back,

but that decision will wait until the sunlight gives up the fight.


She's not concerned about the cold edgy table. Her soft hamstrings

aren't so soft after all. There is strength in those legs, strength in

her belly, her fingers, her ease. His hands bow to her power in detail:

the elegance of those dark places, the casual simplicity of her hand

on her thigh. She know the sun won't relinquish it's blanket, nor will

he be the one to untangle fingers.
