Under My Fingernails
By John Tustin
you are under my fingernails,
between the white and the pink.
you are in those solitary hairs
on the bridge of my nose.
you are sprinkled gray
in the blue of my eye.
you are where the flesh
makes love to the bone.
and you are flowing with my blood
like a whitewater rafter
to my heart.
someday
I will be man enough
to meet you there.
and then
the day
can, at last,
begin.
