then again
she leans in
from the dark
of dreams
with the promise
of skin on skin
the calming curve
of body into body
wherein dream’s
disturbance coalesces
into love
such slight whispers
after months and months
of silence
to conjure her
from the night
like a strand of hair
from a book
she once borrowed
marking a poem
she might have read
while thinking of you
