Work Text:
Thighs slide
Over thighs.
Arms around
His waist.
Arm around
His shoulder.
Here now
The news:
Space report.
Corporate scandal.
African summit.
California quake.
Commercial break.
Lips touch,
Tongues caress.
Life's breath,
Promises exchanged.
Local news.
Pay attention.
House fire.
Girl raped.
Dad's eyes
So sad.
In Sports.
Arms tighten,
Noses rub.
Hockey scores
Lost in
Pop's whispers.
I go
To bed
Feeling safe.
Asleep before
The weather.
