chagall backdrop

Belly to belly,
a hard drop
on a mogul

thigh to thigh
akimbo dance
in bright light

flesh to flesh
hard slaps
flush and bracing

Palm to palm
we explore
the cushion there

Cheek to cheek
to lips to lips
then tongue to tongue

breath to breath
breathless, out of beat
rushed and laughing

mint
everywhere
