With

Maybe a part of you is still lodged in my lungs
Because I can taste you when I breathe out
That I were inhaling you now
My eyes have been open for 5 hours too long
The ghost of your fingers on my hips my legs my hands my hair my face
Your face looks most beautiful one inch from mine
Eyes half crossed and lips sloped in giddy euphoria

Awake

The absence of feeling made no difference
Until you touched me and I felt it
Like a burning poker in my brain
On my lips my stomach my neck my legs my chest
You burned yourself into my body
Awakened me now I can't sleep

Cold in the white sea cold sheets pillows skin
Kept warm with the steam of your breath
Hazy air in the filtered light of sunrise
Chapped lips swollen red with blood
Exposed and intimate
Warm hands cold feet
