black satin glove
 
they shop with blind fingers
trailing fabric through circular racks

wool on cashmere
denim on denim
silk on satin

he pinches and slides
between thumb and fingers
before taking it to her cheek
for approval

two slaves to sensory integration sneak
for a cooperative dressing room triple mirror
show and turn
tuck and stretch
before returning plastic #6
to the unmanned counter

back home spread over flannel
satin and crisp cotton
cool over headboard
and waiting for the line up
the unusual suspects

beginning tonight
with a simple cotton-lined
black satin panty for tight string restraint
and camisole held as glove
for the tease of slow slide over flesh
breaking down to a firm grip and pull
skin squeeze between

until string
releases subject below
a final flood caught by
friction hot slick fabric
circular play pinching slippery sample
between textile layers
trapped

she turns over
holding satin to cheek
patiently waiting for tight twist and wrap-
her turn as subject

inspector #22 makes
his selection
