Topless

I walk past the bed.
He catches me,
unfastens my necklace,
and lays it on the dresser.
He lifts my shirt above my head.

I let down my hair
and it cascades in long,
chestnut-colored ringlets
down my back.

As he turns my shoulders
I face him and unhook my bra.
He slides the straps
over my shoulders
and down my arms.

Exposed,
I'm a little chilled,
and he notices the
goose bumps
over my breasts.

He pulls me
against him,
walks me back
to the bed,
and lays me
down to warm me up.
