Victorian Shilhouettes

Like Victorian silhouettes

Framed inches apart,

They danced,

Hovering in each other’s breath,

Holding,

Catching in the lungs,

The air from the other,

Through the dance.

 

Lips, and mouths,

Inches apart,

They slow danced

In the breath of the other,

Pulsing,

Locking into

A dance, a style,

They had danced before.
 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Lips and mouths inches from each other, they slow danced in each others breath, in a dance and style well known to them.  Still working on this

Breaths

each others' breaths - I say the words out loud three times, then edit - to erase or rework it. I sometimes add or relocate a word, invert the ideas and turn the end into a modifyer- hmmmmm, Lady A
