Of Your Shapes

i wept last night
thinking of your shapes
moving in sheets
beyond my
shadowed tired reach

as you slept
a few thousand miles from me, i watched the moon
reach across my own bed
in stripes.
i wondered
just how your body
would look behind those  bars
softly  white
holding you against my sheets
where i could
feed my tongue on
the salt of you,   between legs of dark latin
syrup and ancient nutmeg.
my mouth mentioned to the air the soft arch of your ankle
asking to slink my yearning mouth over you
just one more time
before i wake up alone again
