conjures midnight in bones
drips stars from heel to calf
massages moons thighs to buttocks
burns Venus valley back
finger bed traces fibula
oil slick iris
teeth terse promise
captivated capillary
you are in me
nucleus
follicle
freckle
pulse clavicle cavalcade
white paint chalks cheeks
grip belly deep
churn groin
complete
vertebrae marimba
humming older winters
soldered souls, Cairo gold
sand cuts crystal
hands touch ritual
in me
