Penumbra (124 of 365)

Day 124 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day penumbra meaning "the partially shaded outer region of the shadow cast by an opaque object."

Penumbra

His hands on hers
His eyes beyond
His eyes searching
His eyes preying

Her lips pouting
Her lips twisting
Her hands twitching
Her eyes tentative 
Her eyes down and unfocused

His eyes on the other
His eyes like antennae

He picks up a glass
The top of the water is unseen
as it courses 
Silently down his throat.
