A hesitant smile spreading slowly from
A corner of her lips across
The whole face getting entangled
In her black hair, lighting it up
To where her eyes, now all krinkly,
Resemble dried raisins in sunshine
Memories of last night turning that
Smile into an infectious delicious giggle
Losing the battle to suppress it
With a ripened tomato red creeping
Up across the cheeks transforming
The giggle into happy laughter
The laughter taking over her whole body
Emanating from deep inside
With belly, breasts, arms, and legs
Wiggling like freshly prodded pudding
Remembering his face
When she said “no”
