shiny, shiny

I'd say let's get down and dirty. But that would imply the wrong vector.

shiny, shiny

My shiny, shiny thing glistens with your wet remembrance
of the dance we just finished only a single step of,
for this is more than a night or a first-light delight.
You have drawn away my sorrow, swallowed it
and taken it into you to nourish you and remind me
that our acceptance of one another is unconditional,
as were your cries a moment ago when you felt
my shiny, shiny thing touch dark corners
with its hard light and my lips found yours
to share a breath as the small death overcame us both.
