My Body Remembers You

My body remembers

the poems you wrote
in kiss and caress

the songs that you sang
in lust and in luxury

all over my
skin

my eager
skin

my grateful
skin.

My body remembers
your hips and your thighs
painting vistas
of forever

building monuments
out of whisper and sigh

erecting statues
made of thrust and spin and slide.

My body remembers
the imprint of yours
as though we were molded to fit
each other’s curves.

My body remembers

the stories you told
in electricity and orgasm

the secrets you confessed
in liberation
in epiphany

all over my
body

my waiting
body

my welcoming
body

my body

my body

my body
remembers
you.
