Rest

after a long day
working. we touch

every five minutes.
he watches me

pee, shadows
me through

this den. at night,
we are animals

snorting, mammals
heaped in a labyrinth.

slumbering limbs
twitching, breathing

synchronous hearts
and farts marking

this room we share.
his warmth breath

chills my wet nipple.
having just slid

from his mouth.
the clutching

other hand
fondles

my breast.
dreams. peace

without teeth.
but warm

milk
begins.
