An Aged Affair

Katie Moore

Thick in the cold, our
breath, smoke from stung lungs.
The air between our bodies,
humid soup, and the language
of our fingertips fleeting touching
would be spilling secrets, if
we weren’t such masters
practiced at keeping them.

I don’t need words out loud,
just the shape of my mouth
making phrases you lip read,
shapes that turn you on with only
suggestions,

Come to me tonight
when she falls asleep.
It can’t be helped. Our hands
are tied to each other.
