This entry is part 9 of 10 in the series Taut Tensions of Desire

I am not still

when you begin

 

I am already leaning

toward the place

you haven’t touched yet

 

breath catching

on the edge of you

before it even arrives

 

you say melting

as if I don’t feel

the slow surrender

of skin learning

how to listen

 

there is a thirst

but it isn’t empty

it is knowing.

 

the kind that waits

until it is taken

slowly

completely

 

you move

and I follow

not behind

but within

 

every trace

you leave

I gather

 

every drop

you offer

I answer

 

until we forget

which one of us

was meant to hold

and which one

was meant to fall

 

and somewhere

in the quiet after

 

we don’t ask

what we became

 

only how long

we can stay there

before the world

remembers us
