Reclining Nude in Arab Robe by Henri Matisse

Lying in bed wearing nothing but earrings

drinking instant coffee
that you make with the care
of a world famous barista.

I recline, strike a pose
that I think looks alluring.
You roam around
in your nakedness,
heating the water,
mixing the coffee,
stirring the sugar.

Inside me a churn
of something delicious,
warm, aromatic.
The start of something
new.
