confrontation akimbo
by Lauren Singersurruptitiously
silent, hands on her hips
she aims forgetmenot stares
in a regret-ridden room-- left poker-faced and cynical
by the memory of just ...
too much.
he sits, head cocked sideways
-a real idiosyncracy-
and pretends not to notice her.
(he had an uttractive habit of
throwing back his head and saying
"too much, too much!"
and he was.)
even the most
bottled of urges
resurfaces when running
tongue along the teeth,
remembering.
what
he
tasted
like. 07/21/2006 Posted on 07/21/2006
