Since You Came Home
Since you came home
from the night shift and stood
in your gray J.D. counselor uniform
and hugged me, I
sucked gently on the brown
nickel of flesh I found my lips on
You reached your fingers
to black sweat pants and rubbed
through sleepy material until
I moaned
on your neck and you
curled breathing deeper around me
We broke apart
then and I washed yesterday's
dishes while you watched
PBS KIDS with
a flannel skinned elf
perched on your knee
And honey, each day
this love
