Dual Deeds

These dual deeds are dually done
with hands and fingers and tongues.
Sometimes with unspoken words
craving to depart your lungs.

Like children know their playground
you know each nook and cranny
on her body and your hands
calls them by name; their nanny.

Touch, shiver, touch, shiver, touch;
slowly sliding like a snail
on marble, you don’t need speed.
These dual deeds are dually done.
