I startle awake
from the most vivid dream
the kind that leaves you
breathless and sweaty
and wanting to go back
I can hear your voice
echo in the hotel room
making casual conversation
when we both know
nothing about this is casual
I'm supposed to be somewhere
but you make me forget
being reliable
I'll deal with the aftermath
after
you are on my skin so quickly
asking what's on tv
and simultaneously flipping
everything familiar belly up
my resistance feeble and futile
you say you've been waiting
and promise me
you'll make tomorrow delicious
I wake up with you inside me
and your taste still in my mouth
