Words

Take these words
and mold them 'neath
the heat
of your wandering hands

I give them to you
like a lover gives
of herself

take me

Press them to your lips
and whisper softly
so they fall unfettered
upon the sunwarmed skin
of my shoulder

And I
will gather them up
and cradle them against
my heart
