i will steal a moment from work
in the haze of a cold and not
wanting to be anywhere
but in unusual places with you
i will steal a moment from your tenderness
and slip a melange of intimate images
that crawl circles around your shoulders
and dance on the ridge of your color bone
and slide down the slope of all your curves
with rosebud intrigue
as i dream of exploring
the continental divide
or the charm of pink coral
and unusual travel destinations
