A Drinking Accident by Dan Brook

drinking at the pub 
they take a taxi back home 
exchanging glances 

another whiskey 
and lots of silly giggling 
at their apartment 

a bit drunk together 
accidental lesbians 
touching and kissing 

her friend is happy 
kissing, petting, enjoying 
so she's happy, too 

after an hour 
of kissing, licking, touching 
two sweaty masses 

lying there with her 
in their post-orgasmic bliss 
she dreams of next time 

just a yellow sheet 
on their entangled bodies 
peacefully sleeping 

the sun on her face 
feelings of satisfaction 
on this good morning
