“So I lay her to sleep
and wipe off the milk
and step into the next room
for some innocent filth
in the middle of which
her scream jolts me up
And I transform breast once more
between lover
and love.”

“Spooning (2021)
I realise there are much bigger hardships in lockdown but right now I really miss naked spooning.
i want to spoon you and watch Star Wars tonight
today has been a long day
that’s how the saying goes
i do not want to talk
i do not want us wearing clothes
i want to be the front spoon
lamp off; duvet up
yoda and a spaceship race
some kisses on the nubbin
at the bottom of your neck
your crotch nudging my buttocks
with that hint of maybe sex
warm semi on my backbone
arm loped across my chest
i want a second chance for Anakin
that mask still makes me weep
i want a fondle of at least one breast
then, silently to sleep”
