distance, in retrospect...

discovering
the space between:
two/separate/bodies
may perhaps
become
confusing if
the subject of
intention is
unclear.

take, for instance, the space between fingers or
two hands, held strongly to a face.
distance between hips
(beneath palms) and
the curving inward of a waist.

forgive me but
i much prefer
a sudden
recklessness
when it comes to
moments of this
strange (stacatto)
nature.

"darling, if i weren't cleaning up after you all the time, i might have an oppurtunity to scrub at the scuffs..."
and other things that she soon discovered were not, for the most part,
worth mentioning
