I love you, the scent of you after coupling
Pheromone and testosterone dance on our skin
We glisten, like fish fresh out of water
Human longings sated by animal needs
Passion finally shut off in the closing
Of your thighs. The breath in our bodies rasping
As if we’d run to Sparta. Contentment
Floods the mind like hard-earned endorphins
Peace descends as if covering the whole earth
Broken by the rumbling of a passing car
Reminding us of where we are
Dispelling the memory of where we were
