dinner
me. biting chocolate-covered
strawberries
held in his hand
to the quick, but still
he doesn't pull back
he. presses
icy grapes
into raspberry coulis,
reruns on my lower lip,
trusted to stay within the lines
others. watch,
share reserved table
spaces, graze off
separate plates instead
of sharing laughing platters
for two, like
we.
