To Couple

even the

arm of a

stranger

would be

could be

better than

the *** of

sheets that

isn't warm

not alive

just a sock

that slipped

out of the hamper

that isn't a hand

strewn over

mine, or

the pants carelessly

swung off the

side of

the bed

instead of

a hot foot

twined around

my ankle keeping

me anchored

to something

carnal

or real

to keep me

from floating

away.
