I shouldn't be awake You press your hand to mine I feel the langour of Sunday morning blossom splay like your fingers across my stomach I feel the convivial squeeze of your hand to my hip A shared kitchen too tight (not really) A sparkle I feel the assurance of connection Feet on new pavement Eyes busy, drinking Hands Linked Pulling flush when more is needed Soon you stir Press kisses that sit beneath my skin as you carry yourself out away I touch the hand you emptied Still warm You're always warmer Magic spilling through on contact The hot-cold of my body Mapping your witchcraft
