The dust motes look startled!
Floating invisibly one moment
then caught in a sumbeam the next
like convicts caught in a jailbreak.
They dance before me
delightful in themselves
above the fluffy towel
with which you have just
dried your delicious self
& left forgotten on the floor.
I pick up after you
(as always)
stand there surrounded
by dust motes
like alien creatures
this the dead skin of you
furiously flaked off in your drying
but still beloved to me
remembering how it was
when I kissed it
on naked arm...bum or thigh
and how it made me sigh then
and sigh even now
passing through this
dust cloud of you
loving every little
bit of you.
