Snug

I saw my wife tonight
She was on my brother
with the words...no... letters...
abbreviation of some college
plastered on him
she kept him warm
like she did with me
hugging the curves of his
body
he held her closely
appreciative
her softness unspeakable
caressing him
He smiles 
looking at me 
breathing her into him
as I did her
"Thanks bro..."
I smiled back
Admiring her on him
"No problem...it's cold out"

Karena, thank goodness this was inspired by a movie! The images are very vivid, but the actions of disloyalty would be hard for the husband to bear. Very compelling poem! Love, Carolyn
