roué

late night or
early morning

he stands on his knees
in front of me

his two hands
surround my waist
and meet where
my back curves

I should've left long ago

his open mouth rests
breaths warm air
on my naked belly

you always have your heart
in everything you do, he says

now his fingers
make an energy field
on the small of my back

how did you know, I say

and let my clothes
drop to the floor
