Kissing With Serious Intent

	from a chance comment by CFH


I date guys, but I lust after girls.

did you realise
in that night
of wine and drool
and not-quite-knowing
that it would leave you
    that way

that it would leave you
    clean/stark/sober
in his arms

against his chest
his mouth on yours
his hands tracing your skin
trembling in their discovery

that it would leave you
    wanting her.
