Air Break

This covert excitement,
unbridled in the rising heat
of doing something secretive
dabbling in lust-drenched endeavors
sneaking a kiss
out of opportunity
suggestive messages
baiting a continued interest
in a bad that feels good
sneaking away from spouses
lost in animated dialogues,
arrogant debates
escaping into the evening air
for a peaceful moment
a hand touching your shoulder
turning to find her
in a flowing summer dress
moving out of view
from the bay window
where they sit around a table
engaged in conversation
sharing those same sentiments
to bring life to the party
your fingers following
the cotton trail
of her availability
stoking her while tasting her shaded mouth
her hand forming around your shape
to remember
later
when she needs some inspiration.
 
They will assume
that you both stepped out
for a cigarette
and will shift around the table
to let you back in.
