distance and accusation

he shook and her
damp warmth eased in 
to him, the atlantic
sounding unable
to sleep through the window

he came in shades 
of navy to draw her out
slow as ivy she spread
his chest her furnace
forehead into his neck
a branding
iron leg draped
a blanket across his

he can't pull it up

simply aware of her
breasts not striving
to feel he wants
to stop the swim

be swept out

as a young man he would move
against the undertow fear
adding layers of muscle
to skinny arms

tempo to a heart wanting
to stop the swim

be swept out
