how real

by Emily Davidson

we've got a secret
hiding under our denim
and we can see it in a
glance, exchanged for a moment, or in a
breath, breathed out of rhythm.

you gave me a look;
a sort of
half-smile
or dirty grin.
but it was beautiful nonetheless,
and i swore to myself
that i could live off of looks like those.

I really like the second stanza.

There's something inherently sexy about denim, and this. ::grin:: well done.

And the rest of us could live off poems like these. Brilliant.
