Casting Off
Nov 14 2023
Snow covers the trail,
but the lovers
crunching through it
don't feel the cold,
despite going hatless
in skimpy jackets
and canvas running shoes.
Her head
rests on his shoulder.
One gloveless hand
has found the back patch pocket
and slipped deftly in.
Skin-tight pants
so just the fingers fit,
nicely cupped
against the firm curve of his ass;
its every fluid move
felt
with exquisite exactness.
While, thrilled by her touch
he reaches back
with the flat of his hand
and holds hers even closer.
Young lovers in heat
can dress badly
and still stay warm.
Just that much less
to cast off
when walk turns to run
and the time finally comes.
When she will melt in his arms,
his inhibitions thaw,
the windows steam up
in their small shared apartment.
Nesting in bed,
where touch
is really all young lovers
need to wear.
