xxxi.
Lifting up,
making sure
she feels
what I'm carrying between my legs.
She moans so slightly
and I start to press it to her.
She gasps,
saying something
about a condom.
I knew she'd give in.
xxxii.
We fuck
like dogs
in spring heat.
Ghosts all around us
haunting our craving bodies.
I come,
she yells into the night.
I clean myself
and return
to her crafted silken body,
which I sleep on
and dream of her nakedness.
