me standing in the bedroom doorway
you standing naked in front of the closet in the hall
backlit by the window
holding up a tie
to see what colors were in it

you shaking a blanket out over the porch
you like this sappy stuff don't you
curled legs around each other
you kissing me
the sky mauve leaning purple leaning black
you laid back and smirking at me again
your hips grinding up toward my mouth again
your hands on me, you pulling apart my clothing inch by inch to take what you select
the wind

this was supposed to be simple
