Words barely audible;
Choked and phone line
Distorted.
*[Words muttered between
Sweat-wet moans and
The grasp
Of a lover
Whispering
Back.
Fingers finding fingers;
Knots of nails and tendons
Tying, untying, re-tying.
Legs, arms, ribs, knees -ropes
And hull of something fleetingly
Unsinkable.]*
Words barely audible.
Hoarse with worry.
"Will you be ok?"
IV-bag drip-dripping iron
Supplement into my arm
That itself remembers her
Sleeping head still warm
With contentment's embers.
"I'll live if you'll live."
A pact between our broken
Hearts; that everything else
Stays unbroken.
