    Should we swim in these sheets?
    Should we float on the blankets
    and hold our breath as the pillows
    crash on top of us?
    Should we tear off these swimsuits
    and swim naked under the waterfalls
    of our headboard? 
    Should we kiss under the whitewash
    of the down comforter atop us
    and marvel at the light that decorates our faces
    as it passes through all the places where the
    feathers have shifted?

    Should we dance on this mattress?
    Should we waltz and two-step and tango
    on the sheets stretched tight against
    the bed below us?
    Should we spin and sway and dip
    and fall off the bed
    into a pile of laughter and applause?
    Should we dance under the spotlight
    of the moon and the stars
    and the audience of planets
    that orbit around us
    and only us?

    Should we paint each other with kisses?
    Should we sketch with our fingertips
    on the canvases of our bodies?
    Should we work off the clay of
    our clothing and scrape and mold
    and peel back the layers of life
    and time and ache covering
    the people we were meant to be?
    Should we be the artists
    and be the canvases and be
    the paintbrushes and should
    our kisses be the paint?

    Should we burn our story into our skin?
    Should we be the authors and the poets
    the writers and the dreamers
    that give shape to the floating fragments
    of all we have yet to do?
    Should we give a voice to the silence
    lingering between your skin
    and mine?
    Should we close that space now
    once and for all and watch the scattering
    of the words that make our story
    when our chests collide?

    Should we?
