I wonder if I will ever improve at these... (or anything else, at my rate!)

Next to each other in the dark,
they listened for the sound of love in the spaces
between breaths they would soon be struggling to catch.
The language of skin never needed translation,
but when things needed to be said later in the light of day
they would covet those spaces in a big way.
