Heat


from the ABC set Dear Familiar

For lunch she wore
her gold corset
under a jacket
just a little bow
showing
He couldnt eat.
Her mouth
drew his eyes
held them
shape ,softness
laughter
He had once
at the station
told her how he wanted
to memorize her body
to know every mark
possess her like that
so later
face down
still
she lay unlaced
and electric to his gaze
he ran a hand
down her back
behind her knees

and turned her over
