Bones
Linked by lightly caressing feet and toes,
Fastened ankles enclosed by tender hands,
Tied shins wound around as they quake and stand,
Intertwined thighs braid and weave as they doze,
Pressed to the hips that quivered and rose,
Arched to the back hugged by hands that spanned,
They broke by the collarbone bent and banned.
Above sheltered ribs, hidden heart enclosed,
Lips murmured fake plastic plants and trees.
Spooned coated souls dipped, unclear and veneered,
She’s shaded beneath and unable to see.
Seeking to please he is down on his knees:
“Shun and evade the collarbone, m’dear,
One final kiss before I disappear.”
