From Just A Feel

I stooped to recover a shiny
bit of cherry-red lobster shell
from my b&w terrazzo floor,
and felt a twinge jab my heart.
The remains of the crustacean
we'd devoured last evening.....
It was right there, right there,
under the chair you'd graced
with your gorgeous ass.
That was all it took...
the cool feeling of the now-empty shell
between my fingertips...
That was all it took for
my head to fill with thoughts.
I ran my fingers over the smooth shell
and imagined the feel of your skin.
