your teeth sink into

the powdered sugar donut

it dusts your black shirt

snow still caps the mountaintops

faintly visible at dawn

.

sugar on your lip

I remember the sweetness

well after dinner

.

honey in green tea

steam rises from the surface

faint smile on your lips

leaning against the window

you long for the mountains

.

I watch you sip tea

a smile flits across your face

that is not for me

.

my lips graze your neck

as you gaze out the window

light painting cheekbones

while your head tips to the left

wordlessly asking for more
