To his wife
Pour me down your long legs
twisted like a secret
hiding eternity between your thighs
talk slow and let the coffee get cold
and we’ll stew a while.
To her husband
Shave off that day’s scruff
unless you intend to use it to scrub the dishes.
Softly, speak in whispers,
let the house echo silence
and I’ll make you your damn coffee.
