thistledown
thistledown
sitting across from you,
i watch the muscle in your jaw work
you chew quickly
in an effort to have done
with eating
always in a hurry,
always needing
to get to the next course,
the next chore
i want to watch you
be naked,
free from the constraints
of your everyday skin
untethered from obligations
timetables
expectations
i would catch your kisses
as you floated on the updraft of chance
