Connection

Late at night
with weary mind and bleary eyes
I take a break from my work.
Lay my forehead on the cool desk
and breathe deeply.

I feel you come into the room.
Walk over to me
and gently touch the back of my neck.

My body trembles as every inch of me relaxes.

Raise my head.
Wipe the regret from the desktop
and wonder if
somewhere across town your fingertips are
mysteriously tingling.
