Blossoming

She told me she opened up
like a flower. I said that
To you while I was sitting
in the swing in your loft.
I wore no clothes and bent my knees
trying to swing higher.
You thought I meant sex
but that was too obvious.
I was talking about childbirth,
the way she felt when her baby
came. When you put your hands
on my thighs, the swing stopped.
Perhaps I was beautiful
because you knelt, put your mouth
over me, your tongue inside.
Though you misunderstood,
you wanted me
to open up like that.
