your eyes search me
looking for scars
that might tell where I’ve been
my body is clean
your words search me
inquiring about my past
and waiting expectantly
my response is brief
your lips search me
feeling for impressions
left by former lovers
I’ve been smoothed over
so I write this poem
to urge you to keep searching
for you are close
and will find me soon
