blisters

By myself again
California King holding the small of my back: 
I am thinking about our conversation this afternoon. 
I was alone in the office. 
People in some foreign room in some foreign city surrounded her. 

Somehow she didn’t feel that far away
as the words fell out of her:
two: three:
My breath left me
long before that moment
and hours later into the day I find myself still searching for it. 

I think she’s hidden it somewhere
between her thumb and her pinky….
Cradled it deep into the lifeline of her palm. 

There was a fully clothed moment
where I fell fist deep into my nudity:
I was not scared: I was not coy: I was…. 

And I told her that summer was a good time to be hott. 
She didn’t answer 

but I’m sure she agrees.
