small poem

we are naked in the kitchen, lip to cheek
I am white as pearl, soft with sleep
toast burns, but on the floor

sand glitters diamonds-

memory of ocean, long bleached ribs of beach
your wind dried body, complexity of male
wrapped deep around my pale

translucent peace

I called this 'small poem' because I have gathered 'love' and stuff makes critics hide! I have a lot of rich themes coming off this one for other poems. Took a lot of lines away because I wanted it to be small, just a moment in time.

It is so dangerous to do much in the kitchen, but I suppose the extra danger adds spice to things and that's where we keep the spice, good fun write, Yours Ian.T
