rough love

Your chin rubbed against my inner thigh
like burnt toast on butter, 
the way a knife sounds spreading the yellow fat
against the dark and brittle skin. 
I resisted the temptation to wrench your peppered hair, 
instead grounding myself
in the fortitude of your forearms
majestic masts through the softened air.
