Sharp Teeth
you would growl
and pretend to eat me up.
I would squeal and kick;
tickled by your hair, your eyelashes,
your stubble, and your long deft fingers
scrabbling against my ribs.
you would rub your nose against my belly, and
I would stop you by kissing you so hard,
your teeth would bite into my lips.
you would break off
and pretend to be a tiger.
I would be giggling so helplessly
your head would lower
and you would eat me for real.
