We played this game
of Peek-a-boo.
A flash of fabric-
A flash of flesh.
Then just flesh.
My mind
to my mouth
drawn
like champaign bubbles
but warm.
My mind
to my mouth
open
Skin slides in-
exits with spit-
Skin slides in.
Exits
A breath
A rhythm I’ve never known,
Skin slides in-
Exits
A breath
With a crescendo of slurps-
the skin slides in,
holds
tight.
The salty flavor of sounds-
so loud
I spit it out
with a swallow.

This is smart.
"The skin slides in" is the line of the week, its repetition suggesting love making, although I do wonder if you had consolidated the existing words into longer lines, would it have slowed down the love making?
I might have written "my mind to my mouth drawn out"
For some reason Lit won't accept my monicker in "Comments." I''m greenmountaineer.
This is nicely done and suggests skill. Nicely done!more...
