Debauchery of Us

Debauchery of us...
           How fun that sounds-
clothes in a pile that is
             actually a trail on the floor
of the kitchen
   the hall
   the doorways
                and us-
       a little out of breath
       a little sweaty
  wrapped like a game of twister
                                abandoned but never un-linked
   hot lips on trembling skin
                             and the taste lingers after
                 the breathing slows
              and the limbs unwind
           and the air gets cold-
         and suddenly
                     there's nothing there to hold.
