in your dimly lit bedroom / my body thinks aloud

you pass me
a cold IPA

pulling bed covers
closer over
your chest

i take a swig

the hops
bitter
seize my tongue

washing

your salt taste

down

my
throat like

rain pooling
into street
gutters

guzzling inward

slipping
crashing
buzzing

into
me

so
when
your hand
grabs
mine

interlocking digits
interlinking
eyes

hazel like
autumn forest moss
grown thin by the
creek

not blinking
but sinking

heavy into
my own
blue
so thick

i almost choke
on the

taste

too soon
sudden
sweet

catching me
quick by the ankles

kissing
up my
thigh

i sink
into you

my stomach
plunging

purple velvet
on the turn table

tripping over
itself

twisting into
complications

cumulus clouds

over
stormy
sea
