I remember her now

A guitar shaped body

Jutting hips that hook a look

Pubic hair and yearning –

Desire singes and drowns shyness

Unbuttons her blouse

Plucks the straps of her bra

Nipples, a pinky ring

The whys of the world shifts

She covers her breasts

‘No,’ confuses him

Floats above her afraid to rest

The wait of his life

On her, in her

Weight of his life pushing

Spasms lighten his body

Grunts as he breaks free

Pearls curled up inside her

Clenched tight and crushed

                               Fuck Fate?
