Study Break

If I prepared my hair
The way you like
And make my voice speak
The words that please you
Would you make a window
Something in the middle
Where you let me in?
Would you let me skin feel
Like wax and linen
And my mouth taste of peaches

Could you turn your head
Toward me and speak to me
Of closed doors
And taking chances
Could you take me in your arms
And run away with me for
A half-hour’s leisure
Ease your mind
Rest your hands
In the depths of me

If all is in place and you
Sat down for a little while
Would you love me
While the flip side plays
Before you turn away again?
