Description Our clothes got lost
coming home -
I think they slipped off
to Morocco,
or went skinny dipping,
you whispered
in that bare skin voice of yours.
Or maybe they are seducing
the back seat
of a taxi,
daring the floorboards
not to creak
and the windows
not to blink.
Perhaps even now
the shameless pink
of your blouse
is undressing my jacket.
stripping my lapels
loose and lean
and my jeans
are coaxing the red
right out
of your skirt
and holding it hostage,
or maybe the elusive cool
of your shoulders
is windburn
and urging my tie
to trap your touch.
Besides, morning is crammed
between my ears again

and I don't recognize us
with our clothes on.

Whoa....

That's one heck of a poem there. Love the imagery and personification of the clothes. Definitely sexy.

you are the master of this sort of quiet literary seduction.

read one of your pieces to my college poetry club recently---we were supposed to bring in something that inspired us---and the others agreed.

things like this make me weak.

"yer roadhouse blues," I do believe. the first response I got (from someone who hadn't really been paying attention) was "wait, did you write that?" to which my answer was "dear GOD no!" = )
