Inspiration from “Afternoon in Bed”

The prickly heated air,
Covets this sleepy pair.
Who, once tightened in embrace
Were face to face, kissing.
When the whole world appeared, missing.

Deep breathing,
Making moist glowing skin
Sprawled, against crisp, cotton sheets
Cooling them. Until they arouse in the heat,
And once again, their bodies shall meet.
