Couples

It’s a bowl of rice, and mushroom chicken, marinated in sauce. Its chocolate chip
cookies, vanilla ice cream, and pecans. It’s a steak with trimmings, a pile of onions,
and A1 Sauce. It’s you a stream, with silver eyes, fiddling couch threads. It’s a
pillow soft, for pillow talk, where eyes gloss. It’s a goose down spread, with pink
hearts, for warming toes. It’s a loud voice, to prove a point, a sexy retreat. Its silken flesh,
caramel lotion, and body heat. It’s a massage, for a long day, to loathe a boss. We
live with hunger, an intimate silence, to nibble fruits. It’s a night’s journey, a touch of
therapy, to pull at literature. Its inner strife, revealed in private, to carry this treasure.
Its squirrels and rabbits and geese featured on Geographic. It’s a hour to wrestle, to
rustle slowly, if only a dream. Its Cadillac coffee, and hazel nut cream, for a bowl of
marshmallows. You move like waves, to turn with precision, an art called seduction. It’s

Its fruits and berries and chips and dip to worry for thighs. Its highs for lows, and lows
for highs, scribbling notes. We picture like portraits, featured in psyches, a model for
perseverance. Its anger to simmer, and bubbly tubs, and exotic oils. It’s more a vision,
a chest of chi, as calm as candles. We color rain, with hopes and dreams, and cosmic
art. It’s more for beaches, and parks, plus the Getty. Its small gestures, and candid camera,
to feel embarrassed. We paint it love, to sit in stillness, chanting love.
