after the lovin’
we are so magnificently finished
with each other
for the time being
that we are able to wander into
our own isolated sleep
no, probably not
our dreams will surely connect us
I lie there
my hands alive
remembering the soft places
they have been
but we are weary
we are spent
still . . . I remember
feeling like God
as I inhaled your breath
as you lay beneath me
may we sleep ‘til noon

Sweet sighs, Jerry- this is blissful
in aftermath! <~~oops! (wordplay) lol.

"..we are so magnificently finished
with each other

~grinning at your "magnificently" here,
nice touch!

take care
