we whittle at each other with our teeth
impatient courtesies between
dizzy dins of bickering
.
undressed on a bed of olive ashes
skin begins to smoulder
under a song-blue duvet
.
sometimes i sweat
beneath my comforter but then
i shiver without it

A lover of soft cheese and delayed gratification. I prefer plants to people, more often than not. Most of these words should find a home among the compost but hey, at least I'm still writing.
