For Him, From Her

In uncomfortable
Darkness behind
Eyes that won’t shut
The image dances

Taunting with its clarity
Each feature perfect
Each touch, each breath.
Her body shivers.

She hears the words
And sighs
And lets longing
Hang in the air, languid

Its heat carried
In the humid night,
Sustained, weighing against
Her bare skin

And forming droplets of
Sweat, as if his body,
In beads, was against hers
Again.
