Summary: A Reunion






That arch of brow; I kiss the space
Between those orbs of permanent surprise

Half forgotten sighs
And thighs and shrieks and cries
Flutter off the downy under wing of yesterdreams
I still remember

Even though her hands have made you soft
Mine make you hard
Her whisperings have knit you strong and brave
Mine will undo you

She gave you sons and warmth , a home
And all her life she’s built you
For this moment when I claim back
What is mine
