You nod off during the movie
which is not unusual.
This time, however,
you slip the fingers
of your left hand
beneath the strap
over your right shoulder.

You pull the strap
of your tank top
away from me,
unaware that you
trigger strong feelings.
I admire your amber skin
& the contour of your breast.

You remove your fingers slowly,
slowly.
I take them in my left hand.
You offer no resistance.
I lean toward you,
pull your hand toward my lips
& kiss the bend of your wrist.

Be careful what you wish for you warn.
“I wish for more & more of you,” I say.
