you slip in. undetected and filled with jollies; i sense your smile

at the back of my head. sleep-warmed, hardly awake but willing

to love me all the same. it is what i wake for. it is what i rise for.

i slump in my chair. sleep weighs a ton. lids the same. but my

smile is a feather and it pulls me upupup to where you wait.

thin and ready. your smile is a well worn ring. the one i have

with the huge diamond that turned into a ruby a few julys ago.

erotic ruby, red and royal. rub the magic ring in the round.

you sit down, quite quiet, back straight. full lips teased my way,

smile makes the sun shine, sun shine, rain shine. i shine, i shimmer.

you make me impossibly bright. despite. despite. despite. despite.
