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
