Remember

Remember

My hands are still warm
from the last time they held you,
my eyes are still dry
as if we’d never met.
My legs are still sore
from our late night encounters,
my fingertips still tingle
at the memory of touch.
We melted together, a
child’s shrinking toy in the oven,
arms and legs combining, creating
some monster, made of pleasure,
pain, and loss. We were solace,
sound and fury, over in a fleeting moment,
never to be again.
