Sharing your light<br />
Stephen Daniels<br />
Her satin body nestles, close<br />
to breath and temptation.<br />
Between my intentions, my desires,<br />
alongside your indentations.<br />
I used to care about her<br />
movements, how she would sit<br />
in a high corner of our bedroom,<br />
waiting for the light.<br />
Occasionally, I find her children<br />
in the wardrobe. They sit<br />
between cotton and wool,<br />
take turns to bite the fabric,<br />
escape the moments I would wave<br />
a hand in her direction, avoid contact.<br />
Now she lies next to me,<br />
asks me to touch her.<br />
I reach over, tease<br />
the tip of my finger<br />
lightly on her body,<br />
watch her disappear into dust.
