he liked to trace the outline
of her navel using just his tongue

it made her body shudder,
her eyes shut
and her mouth open

made her bite her lip
and brush the hair from her face

the soapy globes of desire
with her nibbled fingernails

between the lines of text
 or in a stranger’s glance.

kiss him into a bubble
and watch until it
