My eyes closed on you
and you went away

I believe only
what I see and feel
My mouth against yours?
Warmth of breath
Most tenuous contact of desire
for you
You--
odd cloud in blue
a dream Untrue...
...it is of you
to Lie this way--
Our bodies touch along our lengths, our lives
and curves
and angles
You so curled around me
Your arm across my chest
Possession
of your hand
opened
upon the neck-- of my universe
to unnerve
deceive

My knowing
heart
left
to believe
you were ever here
You would be

ever
