In between us

it starts with a tickle;

in the belly,

nebula.

            It ends with a poke

            between two ribs

            and a husky giggle.

 

It starts with a flash

of a sideways eye;

a tiny smile.

            It ends with a lean;

            the slightest fall

            and a body-check.

 

Its starts with a pulse

through a softer drum;

an urge to move.

            It ends in a leap

            to a standing pose

            and a crazy dance.

 

It starts with heat

in a burgeoning core

rising, rising.

            It ends with a word,

            soft clear magma,

            melting eyes.
