across the coffee table

not your makeup
not the jiggles of your jewellery or
of the 10,000 things in the purse as you move
it's your fragrance teasing the air
kissing

not your dress
or the legs left uncovered
or the drinks between us
the smoke holding us
a blanket
a silent symphony goes on
two hazy souls tango
while seated across the coffee table
you and i
it's the time spent looking,
waiting

your lips,
freshly painted
pouting
the parting wet paint
mist and mist
tease
lust
love


two hazy souls tango
while seated across the coffee table
drinks between us
smoke holding us
you and i
fog and first sunlight
