In the Quiet Heat of Anestri
For Judey Kalchik's Anagram Poem Unofficial Challenge
in the heat and calm of anestri, the hushed voiceless exchanges alerting us
pour a glass or two of retsina, as your legs form a crude triangle over my body
let the blood-red stainer flow, altering our perception briefly...slightly
perfume breathes as stearin melts, relating the sweat to the aromatics
pull at the rough, invigorating ratines, make it messy, tanglier than before
as the air retains the scents of our bodies, the route, the integral of our passion

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: This is for Judey Kalchik's awesome unofficial Anagram challenge thingo which you can find more information about below:
I did a double whammy and used two words for anagrams of them both in each line.
The two words are retains and triangle.
Here are some other pieces:

My goodness… what a mind bending achievement!😉
Wow, this was so, so cool! I love the way you really made this work as a poem on its own outside of the parameters of the challenge. It doesn't feel like you were straining to write within the confines of the requirements. Fantastic work!
Nifty Paul! I’ll have to check Judey’s challenge out! 😊👍
Whoaaaa, as if this wasn't hard enough, you used two words!! You're King Paul Poe Shakespeare for a reason! 🍩🥐
😮😮😮, woah! A cohesive scene and subject with not one but two anagram words per line! Very very impressive!
You are one clever poet/writer. Great work and quite the imagination.
WOW! The push and pull of this poem makes it even more sensual. Great job!
