late morning dreams - flipside B

late morning dreams
(on saturday while you mow the lawn)

my lips taste
of your
skin. I savor the
hint of your
cologne, I wish that you
would touch me
again. I will touch
your hands.
hands that are
touching
me.

I step into the shower. I
want to stir my
fingers in your hair.
your skin warms
in the steam. the water
chasing towards your
navel haunts
me. touch
is inadequate, but
I close my eyes.

1988
