After restless solitary sleep
spots tender to the touch
under your fingertips
upon waking.
In morning light
faint discolorations on skin
in your mirror’s reflection
dimpled impressions of teeth.
Neck
Shoulder
Underside of breast
Inner thigh
Don’t worry.
It was only me.
Yum!

Paul.
This was fantastic. It was a delight to see your writing again.
This is beautiful, the darker undertones of the writing are made even more alluring by the almost romantic language. More of this would be wonderful.
