Turning Bodies


curled on blue stained comforter
your head on my thighs - I run short fingers
through white-gold

	silent, speak of men
	we have known
	love, we have imagined

digital glow reminds me
you must drive skidding soon through rain -
turn my body to shield your eyes

if only I didn't know what you'd do
if I kissed you
perhaps I'd kiss you
and see what you'd do.
