Translucence

 

A fog on glass
translucent skin
presses the surface
cooling the flesh
as droplets cascade
the subtle curves.
Tumescent shapes
emerge in the shiver
as steam whirls away
in a breathless twirl.
Long shadowy forms
appear and withdraw,
a rhythm in the mist
as clouds gather - disperse
in quickening gasps,
the liquid echoes, moans
reaching, reaching and then
finally a release
the dampness suddenly calm.
Fingertips slide
down shower doors
with a whispered, "Yes."
