she ate pastry from my fingertips
watching me
wanting
like a small man
pacing pecking tasting the air
my lips tilted
upward and light
like a feather-feeling
sunshine shifted across her glossy back
warming my chest
deep into the hollow there
I could have caught her shadow with my sugared hands
but I thought it nicer to lock with her
to share a sharp black gaze
and be thankful for the company

Love the verse and image.
