Naked in wet heat atop the comforter,
she lies with her head on my chest
and I will my heart to slow.
The sky could break with cold rain
any second, the salt on our skin drunk down
with a margarita, the musk in the sheets
overwhelmed by fresh mint, the red of our necks
lathered in cool cream.
She shuffles her body and her damp hair
settles by my nose. I close my eyes
content in the flame.
