I Find You

Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me Here you are in the wind That buffets and curls around me Fingers composed of gusts Brush a lock of hair this way Then that way Then this way again I chuckle I laugh I wonder if it’s you making me how you want me I discover you in my bed In the softness of clean-smelling sheets Would your fingers dance across my shoulders like my sheet as I toss and turn? It’s your legs tangling around mine I close my eyes It’s your legs tangling around mine Keeping me close Keeping me with you In this bed It’s your legs tangling around mine Not the quilt twisted around my feet like shackles made of cotton and embroidery thread I still I shudder I shiver Is that you I feel pressed against my back? I find you in the accidental embrace of a pillow Reflecting my own heat back like a heated touch I find your exhaling breath landing warm behind my ear In the whisper of wind that creeps through my window I don’t look for the shape of you I find you all around me
