I feel the softness of you, pressed against me.<\/p>\n
Feather-light, blood-warm, sugar-sweet saltiness<\/p>\n
that is you in the morning.<\/p>\n
Your lips at my throat, your hands at my ribs,<\/p>\n
fanning across the indentations like a blind man<\/p>\n
searching for the Braille poetry of our desire,<\/p>\n
salt, sweat, skin. Holy trinity.<\/p>\n
Before I strip you of your wings<\/p>\n
and we consume what is our Fate with relish,<\/p>\n
hold me, cover me.<\/p>\n
