Lot’s <strong>Wife</strong> • <strong>Edition</strong> Three<br />

one sweet october night<br />

we shared a single bed<br />

the sweat of our skins<br />

perfuming the air<br />

your breath brushed<br />

my cheek<br />

heating and cooling<br />

by turns<br />

hair flared across pillows<br />

nightgowns tangled<br />

at our feet<br />

In. Out. In. Out.<br />

soft breaths, and<br />

the city’s sounds<br />

whisper by the window<br />

but cannot break<br />

our sacred stillness<br />

the dawn rays creep in stripes<br />

discovering our nightgowns<br />

our shoes, our socks<br />

our wounds, our wilds<br />

sweet sleeper, when you wake<br />

you roll and stretch and yawn –<br />

all liquid-languid motion<br />

all softness and smiles<br />

Good morning. Good morning.<br />

your eyes are sun-warmed earth<br />

your skin, rose-petal soft<br />

the sun intrudes at the window<br />

and we drop the blind<br />

to banish him<br />

we fold together –<br />

feather-touches and<br />

butterfly-kisses<br />

and we stay<br />

just a little longer<br />
