Memory Tears upon Close Examination

You see, I did not want

to take refuge in

simple description:

yellow–gold hair

glass–blue eyes

and palm–filling breasts.

I treasured instead

the crease down her belly;

the snake–curve of her back;

her almost–silence as we slid

together, that betraying gasp

muffled against sodden skin...

and oh

god,

I have already forgotten the rest.
