Some Things We Can’t
Do Over the Phone

Unsnap
Unzip
Tasting the tip of your earlobe
Counting the beats of your heart
The synchronicity of eyelashes
Saturation shared
Your scent before I even get to you
Pulling the blanket off your toes
Letting the palm of your feet
Cuddle to the heat of my calf
Suplicating my superstition
I kiss you thrice
Along the stations of the cross
Pull back the shower curtain
Seeing that lost look
The moment where we're
There and not there
Between words and memories, then
Catch the arrival in each other's eyes.
