spent

the fierce pounding of my heart
echoes the rhythm of our recent endeavor
thundering through my body
stirring the momentum of my passion
a restless vortex beneath my skin
i watch the gentle movement
of his body in time to
the rasp of his breath
against the quiet of the room
my hand sweeps along
the contour of his flesh
exploring slowly
the line that marks
where hip
meets thigh
as my body eases
into
sleep
