stripping
the bed, glancing at
chocolate honey hair
contrasting milky tones
cover insides that only hours ago
worked overtime
you became graceful between 3 and 4
you became a traveler around 5
taking time to go over the nights blur
you make me water
tiptoeing the floor which
has become a minefield of the sum of your parts
and I simultaneously count
the imperfections of your back
coming up with approximately
zero.
