Tony On your left side we are like synchronised swimmers Your arm goes under my clavicle Brushes my best breast Your hand latches onto my crooked forearm Like a life-saving bar swung from in the gym Your crook your leg and I get Your thigh between mine And it feels like I’m sitting on a pummel-horse Only this one breathes. Or I’m riding across the snowy plains on you. On your right side I am your shadow accomplice In what I know is a silent world I press my breasts like noses against a pane Tight against your back. Gravity and heart beat Won’t allow me to reach under you My arm reaches up to the mountains of your chest, Your shoulder And falls over A bridge from a girls world A bridge - like an invitation by Debby Jellings |
