Between Collarbones

Tongue up my spine
Coursing over my shoulder
Along my neck
Down Between my collarbones
Down

Down

Slowly down

Fingertips pressed into thighs
Swelling pressed into skin
Swelling reaching
Crawling in, crawling out
Like tides under an eager moon 

Swelling

Swelling

Tongue to tongue
Tips to backs 

Swelling crashing
Tidal waves glorious 
We complete a circuit
And eagerly repeat
Until the moon is low again
Exhausted as us
