Its asymmetry and beguile:
Familiar and cat twitch wide
The intimacies bestowed by those mornings,
Which were endless, wet, and screened alone
Privacy irreducible as a veil
Metaphor and meaning lost
I just imagined our kiss your mouth my mouth
Liking to have assented to it all
Knowing it was really just an accident
We hadn’t any plan so nothing went to it
The wearing of your clothing sometimes
Your elusive taste on my tongue
Feeling the memory tentative as a minnow
This was the obverse reaction to alert alarmed:
Languid.
