she smiled.
he felt her lips widen, stretch,
part as those nostrils flared
for her to breathe.
he sighed/he took her inside,
her breath, and held
to fall the chest
and release to her
his lungs.
she turned her head,
chin toward him, eyes
down to see him,
from her side, and
she showed her tongue/her throat,
open-to-welcome him, and
he smiled.
