can i slip an S

can i slip an S
closer to your breast
perhaps take an L
use its elbow
to rub the softness
of your hair
there

we have the darkness
of these empty sheet
to stretch out & hide in
to use as our blanket

maybe i might drop
M's somewhere around your ear,
let their legs reach &
hook themselves
dangle off
your earlobes

V's could roll down your back
like beads of velvet
& we could

end the night
hair falling onto my face
like T's
as you and i
laugh together
clutching hands
in a night spent
under paper white sheets
sweating letters and sex
