a phone call caused opiate tangents

[Steve]

waking beauty
blinks
sand from her eyes
brushes
dreams from her hair
and i'm at the foot of the bed
sweeping them into a pile to
worship when she leaves for work.

opiate tangent:
kissing from the bottom of her heel
around ankle
in soft dip of achilles
twisting like ivy
up calves,
stopping to smile at closing eyes
loosely parted lips
(there is night sky between them
with tips of teeth constellations).

opiate tangent:
drunk dried little lips pursed
against knee
on tightened bowstring thighs
lapping like waves
up hips,
stopping to nurse shiver
watch toes curl
(closing inwards they are
branches of fern when night draws near).

waking beauty
lifts
sheets from eyes
holds
phone beneath hair
and i'm at the other end of the state
sifting through piles of memories to
worship while i can't sleep.

opiate tangent:
wine wet drenched hyacinth
raining droplets
of merlot in smooth small of back
filling like puddle, spilling
over hips,
sip kissing creased tendons
watch spine arch
(there is bridge to cross
vertabrate walkway to heaven night).

opiate tangent:
slick pink lips slip into
collar bone basin
onto intersection of ear and jaw
wandering like midnight drive
a cross face,
parking above teeth clamped lips
watch chest rise
( great swells of ocean heaving and falling
temendous plumes of smoke exhaled from distant ship).

waking beauty
lifts
sheets to eyes
tousles
promises from hair
and i listen as she says she loves me
speaking through sleep deprivation,
she loves me.

waking beauty
falls
asleep as she hangs up
and i'm awake, won't sleep till she calls.
