into my ear

when we make love,
she says shyly,
i'd like you
to whisper things
into my ear
that excite me.
be creative.
okay. you tell her
and so that night
in the midst
of a romantic
interlude, you gently
kiss her neck
then put your lips
up to her ear
and whisper, there's
a two for one shoe
sale on at nordstrom's
until the end of
the year, which makes
her scream for joy.
