And when we woke it was like nothing
Ever dreamt before this: wrist, neck,
The hollow behind the knee, your hair
Filling my hands, all of it while we turned
And turned until we were unforgivable,
Adamant with bark, as if a wayward god had come
Upon us, bewitching breast to breast, fingers
Still tracing a vein, a thigh
No longer intent on destination
But in the keep of one limb resting on another, breath
Lingering in leaves, at the edge of a road
Where we were once lost, your hand faithful
In its nest, your mouth on my mouth
Caught, our feet tangled, looking for earth.
