Secret Crush

This hay(na)ku chain is the second one I wrote for this week’s Three Word Wednesday prompt - to use the words “avoid”, “class” and “sticky”. I dug into my mental vault back to high school for this one. Enjoy.

I’ve
avoided your
burning acid eyes

which
could lay
me completely bare

in
two looks
or less – despite

my
trembling trepidation
I cannot help

but
stare secretly
in class while

you
scribble away
and slyly pretend

not
to feel
upon your neck

my
eyes like
long distance fingers

I
wonder now
just how sticky

our
two bodies
would be if

one
day they
happened to meet
