through table legs
painted toenails coquet
the edge of denim
lemon, sea salt
and baby arugula
eaten with fingertips
candlelight flutter
a catch in her breath
traced in his own
sicilian jazz
the subtle intensity
composing their story

Composing a story is both serious and lighthearted business. It seems to me that you have a little of both here--just the right balance.

Poet laundry, you pulled off a very sensuous story with your haikus. I shiver with memories as I read it.
You've composed a lovely, almost whimsical, picture with words that leave a really pleasant feel good echo.
Creates a lovely small joy scenario in my head!
