Under the Table

chest on chest, skin on skin

they became one every Friday after school

in the cafeteria, they share platonic small talk

while holding hands under the table

his smile is his weakness

his parents are his

Author's Note

I need and would greatly appreciate constructive criticism to better this poem:)

[Solar]

the first two lines convey an intimacy, the second two suggest layers of friendship/intimacy, the last two lines
bring in the restraints on the relationship - so the poem has a completeness about it.
