Glisk
Cinereal sky loom above anthracite veins,
dappled with pearl light.
Feel bite of razor wind; all bent double,
hunched inwards to shoulder the chill.
You, curling into the crook of my shoulder -
as if to merge into one being.
Frigid hands creeping beneath cotton shirt; cuss under my breath at intrusion.
Noon before light breaks the barricade
of slate - gentle caress of heat
beating down; honeysuckle bright blade
in the slim gap between clasped fingers.
They kiss me - taste of molasses;
sweet and seductive as spring sun.
