Your starch white lids,
rest upon his shoulder.
Later you’ll find time to smoke
through black fingernails
a goodbye kiss.

His own grated jumper jolts,
occasionally,
from the fluency of his hands.
Hoping you’ll arrive soon,
so he can send it off.

For now, it is more amusing
to press unwanted smooth skin against his
and allow his considerate efforts
to pass naturally,
While you fake zeds.

i have an edited version of this i'll post next and ask which you prefer...

good write. i enjoyed the imagery alot. the first one was good, but i liked the second better. it seemed more...calculated, more thought out. both were good writes though.

thanks young blood,
the first darught had a natural progression of number of syllables per stanza. This was dropped in the second because i felt a certain joltiness would go better with the subject matter...

thanks for your input, much appreciated
