| my skin remembers
the electrified intimacy
soft as velvet
yet wielding
an unrivaled intensity
yesterday was blurry
tomorrow was a naked page
and that day, well, that day
was a flower blooming
a peach ripening
to its juicy best
yes, my skin remembers
and from this standpoint
of long ago and so very far away
even behind my foster grants
the memory continues to electrify
