A GOOD DAY TO DIE

ou are standing naked
In front of harnessed fire
concentrating
on a culinary vision.

I walk up behind you
An idle hand
finds your left breast.
But you are unaware
as you are intent on creating
an oral pleasure.

Yes, my love.
To observe you
to be with you
to share with you -
That is
a good day to die…
With a smile in my heart.
