There is something so sexy about watching you write so raptly
Seeing your thoughts being inscribed at full tilt, you pregnant with emotion
It’s so tempting
There is something so alluring about your calloused right hand where the pen rubs it wrong and the ink leaves stains from writing such d r a w n - o u t thoughts
It’s almost enchanting when you hold the remnants of my torn Times in your hands, an unlit cigarette in your mouth
Time and (time) again
Like you’re so occupied by the day’s affairs, you can not even spare a lone second
To simply strike a match
I watch you when you study the sports section
Vexed over last night’s loss
With those trivial forehead wrinkles and clenched fists
Mind resonating with anger
And when you hover over the edge of that beaten futon watching the game like you do
Whispering obscenities under kept breath
That is when I want you the most
There is something about you that makes me feel so restored
Something
I’m not quite sure
Something so sexy
