Along the road

along the rainy highway you let me slip my hand under things of
cotton
along the two-lanes of southern georgia we sat locked eye to eager
eye
along your neck i kissed letting the road swerve under us on its
own

let speeding cars overtake us! let lights force us to stop,
paused
let your feet on the dash, my eyes glued to the rise and fall of
belly
let me trace the lines along your panties, your lips, back to graceful
neck

never regret this happened--i remember us in athens on the porch
embraced
never silence desire, or your wants on road trips, the answer's always
yes
never forget i miss you during work days, and busy myself with your
things

put your head against me, we'll count mile markers under hurried
breath
put your hands on me, we'll pull over a moment to catch our wind &;
smoke
put That Which Gives against That Which Takes, the highway blind to
our games

i'm only here for you, arrived by accident or delivery dependent on
perspective
i'm only wanting us, my lover don't you see when we're in the mirror
morning-time
i'm only staring at you, head to toe, and back again. and back
again.
