(15) Lost & Found
Lost
Dream-stirred
Disturbed
Turn to reach
to seek comfort in touch
to wrap ’round you
An exhalation
Tension fades
as skin calms
as skin calls skin
Found
(16) Mess
Lazily trapped between your legs
Nudging blindly for the hot dark wet
Missing and missing and slipping and slipping
Too lethargic the two of us to disentangle
arms and legs too engaged for final connection
The flood when it comes slicks thighs
Slippery-sticky sloppiness
Languid intimacy of mess
(17) Use
Sometimes
———————it’s not sex but rather
————————————–use
Sometimes
————-use is mutual
——————————others not
Always
————-however it is
————————need
(18) As It Goes
As I lie back, cock in hand thinking
of you, and you stroll by
the door, and I call you
in, and in you come, eyebrow
quirked.
As I tell you to take
your panties off and hop on
the bed and sit down on me
and your expression
changes.
As you straddle me and lift
your skirt so we both can see as
you sink, self-impaling as you
make those sounds, and again I fall in
love.
(19) Wrap
To be—————————————–
wrapped around and inside you
————————————–Is that too much to ask?
(20) Still Life with Coffeecup
I see her in the coffeeshop
in the morning un-made-up
hair unkempt sleepy eyed
unfocused and think
This is how
you would look
after I
finished with you.
(21) Ablative Heart
My armored heart
glows red under fire
ablates when overwhelmed
sacrificing tiny pieces of itself
to carry fury away from the core
I am hoping you find one spot
you can burn through
before all I have left
is a bit of cinder

I think I get these. I really enjoyed them. I think 15 is the one I like best.
April
I think 18 and 21 are my favorites. Perhaps for the extfa sprinkle of vulnerability.
Raz,
your little poems,
reflect life,
beautifully.
Paul.
