Sometimes I catch myself
reaching up to touch the nape
of my neck where the hair
swirls to a soft point, tracing
the ridge of my collarbone
to the dip at the base
of my throat. I run my fingers
between my breasts
where, on these warm days,
moisture collects like drops
of dew. My hand slides down
my belly, touches one hip
then the other, and, as it crosses
the stretch of skin between them,
I catch myself thinking of you. |
