you did that thing with your hair
pretending you were nervous
but I knew you had studied language
of the body and seduction too

advanced degrees of something like that
that you tucked between your breast friends
and dared me to glace there quickly
as if a moment were ever long enough

but my eyes were closed by then
just sipping the perfume you spilled
and blotted with some morning fog
so it would be everywhere I went later

and I would taste it on my own skin
just to make me hungry enough to mention
that we should do dinner in malibu
where the sun would set down behind you

and I could pretend she held my interest

I don't know if poetry is more art, craft or skill. Not that it matters so much. From hands like yours it comes enviably well done.
The daark poet lives on!

That second stanza is naughty but nice.
