"Angle of Arms"
She finds moments
when their bodies
are close together,
skins in light sweat
sticking with feverish
tension
as she guides
the young girl’s arm
through a perfect forehand;
Her sex rubbing against
the flounce of a tennis skirt;
The friction of her breasts
pushing into a delicate back
during the follow through.
These things
are
all too tempting,
as she plies
this young thing,
this child
into a bleeding story
speaking of star-crossed
and forbidden lovers
telling tall tales
about the differences
between them,
their strength more than
the world can handle.
Though the span
of their ages
is greater than the sum
of the girl’s years
she cannot change
the desires or the love
buried inside her
as she lowers her face
into sweetness
and innocence
to taste that which
was never hers
to begin with.

heated, erotic, and very human. good work
This one still stuns me with its taut eroticism, the emotional nakedness of desire inflamed like a flaring match head.
