Later, drowsy, smiling, but "You okay, baby?" My eyes are too bright, skin too hot And you soothe me in sweat Kisses like a cool cloth And the breeze of your breath in attendance My vision tunnels in, blotting out the light except For your face Above me And every sensation Is heightened, pure, sharp Crystalline: The concentration and rapture on your face (What I do to you) Your voice caressing my ear Even as your phantom hands own My skin Your body moving Within me Sensations crystallize, sharp white light (What you have wrought in me) Wringing the cries from my body, Your name Over and over and over I can't breathe For your name filling me Over and over And over I cry because I love you And everything is so sharp, so intense And then it fades, And your breathing calms, Long full sounds, Sweetly ebbing Together In your arms, Held and warm, quiet Safe at last, tidal drift Into exhausted Healing Sleep |
