hemingwaying another swallow of afternoon
slow sipping the cohiba that your eyes touch
on the glowing end as you smile there

in your white man's shirt like in the movies
how do they keep from wrinkling you wonder
and I more why you would want to put it on

when I have known your pores by first names
and each of them speaks to me now for more
name calling and other kinds of whispering

but you say my eyes make you want to cover
like there is a storm in them that waters you
and makes your body look for someplace safe

so it can be unraveled like the thread there
that you are tugging on with your fingers
and then you notice the sun touching your thighs

and my eyes are close behind as you let them
