Violet Filaments

Illuminate the long violet filaments,
hair soft and light as the web clinging
to the picture frames, family photos
erect on the table near the window.

Light streaming through the curtain
of hair, purple like the flowers in your garden.
It blankets our faces,
reflects and mixes with your lipstick,
the skin appears a mottled blue.

But the flesh is warm,
moist as it slicks and slides
over my mouth.

I press against you hard,
try to forget
that your boyfriend
should be home any moment,

that mine is already waiting.
