Caterpillar wish
.
It was unexpected
It came after the loving,
after impassioned declarations
and the touch
that reached
deeper than blue
It arrived uninvited
We lay there
spent,
serpentine
across rumpled sheets
,
with the delicate balance
of promise
swaying before us
shining
like the polish of silver
on starched white linen
.
