early morning sun

early morning sun bouncing off tables

spots on tables too bright to look at directly

end of shift breakfast eggs sausage blueberry muffin

beginning of valentine’s day 2005

tangle of chair leg shadows square and rectangle patches of sunlight intermingled memory of legs hugging deep and hard never stop

stop and just let me feel

it is that moment of quietness held intensity that sends me over the edge

wet kisses before during and after

sun rises bright glare now on chair seats deep breath leaving
