After midnight

fingers grip

chain link fence

dogs bark disapproval

as the moon frisbee

tosses across the lap pool

out of the mouth’s reach

a nervous unbuttoning

the quick unzip

time to see if our

puzzle pieces fit

a silky dark dip

tread water inside each other

arms and legs in full motion

throats croaking in the shadows

no galaxy in sight,

skinnydipping after midnight.

    Very evocative sensual descriptions here ❤ – the short punchy lines really convey that giggly eagerness of sneaking out for racy midnight times 😉

    1. Thank you, Tom. What’s terrible is I couldn’t think of anything else to share that happened after midnight, and so I drank a bottle of red and wrote this. Short and punch might be all I’ve got after a nice bottle of red. 😂
