All bets are off....

Voice and chord,
scent of
lover
permeating air:
Palms seek
lips move
(wordless
affirmation)
pants cling-
nipples harden
tongues
test
licking
fear from frown
a smile      now
resultant
stroke
approaching small of back-
I fold:
a novice poker player
trying
to cheat a card shark.
