Senryu
by John Sheirer

when I turn off
the porno video
neighbors making sex sounds

after dark
the picnic dinner uneaten
her nipple in my mouth

next morning's shower
reluctant to part
with her scent

don't they know
we're making love?
noisy neighbors

first morning light
a closer look reveals
the flowers in her panties

folding her laundry
recalling the blouse buttons
undone slowly
