Contributor Series 9: If Men Had Ears, Night and Day

Contributor Series 9: If Men Had Ears
Night and Day
(based on Imogen Heap's "Between the Sheets")
By Jenny Billings Beaver

You always wanted me between the sheets.
For you, it doesn't get better than this.
Tracing patterns where your supple lips meet,
I leave you transfixed in absolute bliss.

Oh, come back, sweet sleepless, tumbling night.
The mercury morning is on your skin;
we have awakened to such loved up light
and decided to start over again.

The maze of our bodies against the sun,
starts softly with a kiss, another one.


Jenny Billings Beaver's most recent poem to appear here was Oxheart in June 2011.
