Stepping In...

Peeling off the skin of my day
I am in the anticipation place...
skin is off and lying on the carpet
and I am alone with my body,
your eyes
and the waiting warmth in between.

Step in, plunge in, or slip in
no difference
I am in and with you.

The day is gone and what is in front of me
smiles,
moves
and welcomes me
and we share the warmth and the wet
the place where we both barely fit
and not always comfortable

and still we continue
to join and make space in this cramped but warm world
one bends so the other may stretch
and back and forth we go...

Step in, slip in ...
tip toe in...
all the same as it leads to
sharing the warmth with you.
