The Man in Blue
I turn my back on the man in blue
To draw the silver fiberglass drapes
In pleated privacy across
Five pm's strawberry streets.
No sooner have I drawn this eyelid
Across the ever more mirror-like glass
Than I feel hands on my stomach
Drawing me inward to his.
Lips on the side of my neck,
Breath is in my hair.
It tickles like a finger the canal to my eardrum.
I turn 'round returning the kiss.
Over his shoulder I watch his reflection,
I feel his knuckles against my skin
Slide under my un-tucked shirt.
I watch his waist-band relax, open, let go.
