Bronze Came First
My hands sail
with seasoned seaman steering
precision
slowly southward,
along the waves
of your hair,
before beaching on
silky skinned shores.
Navigating marked territory
my fingertips travel,
tracing
southwardly patiently
journeying my modern odyssey
along your ribcage paved path
towards my epicurean mecca
of lush fuzzed meadows
while you cling to me
in our linen pastures
with cosied ivy proximity.
Your spread spent body
covers the disheveled
bedspread,
soaking wet
skin glistening
bronze,
from a
first placed finish.
