Welcome Lottie
Looks like I'm late to the party
I really like the imagery you used. It's all very neutral and clean... I won't say sanitized, because it isn't, but there's a compulsive attention to detail that lends a kind of numbness to the scene. Not unemotional, but controlled. There's tension (despite the title being "supine"), while the sex part happens quietly as background noise.

I lay, unsatisfied, a tremor of This is afterwards, yes? Other than the tense shift, there's no overt break to suggest this. Unless you use the "I lay//" "I lied//" more overtly as standalone scene breaks
Impatience rumbling through my thighs,
shifting the bone white tectonics in my feet.
I lie, supine.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
