fingertips
touching lips
tracing blue veins bulging
indulging
in elastic skin
absorbing the texture, the mixture
of delicacy and sin
caramel waves cascade
and invade
brows and lashes curling
swirling
through my fingers
they l i n g e r
on cheeks
on weeks
of sideburns and stubble
white steel
feels
stronger than stone
bones
big and square, like mine
though they bite hard sometimes
lacking pad or pencil
or stencil
my hands can replicate
the contours of your jawbone
it is to your outline
design
my palms are aligned
