with two flat thumbs
I am trying
to work
a couple of knots
out of your shoulder blade
one not is you
one definitely not is me
yet I'm tracing
warm circles
kneading
the cut of your spine
*needing
the cut of your spine!*
should I?
should I
be kneading
the distance
between us thin ?
I could complete
this instant massage
by simply needing
the scent of your skin
