I could have just shifted

into place

into the gears

of another person's body.

It was late

and made it known

that cuddling is a piss poor hobby

that only leaves you yearning.


Tossing and turning

hands clicked tight

it's too warm under the blanket -

open the window

get cold again

push in closer

'til you melt.


Wet boxers

kissing abrasive

from the prick of facial hair.

If we could just lock in together -

I swear we'll fit -

that would make things fair.
