After the Melt

i see your body in fractions
the image of a soft thigh
the imminent regress back into privacy
i sense you climbing off the bed
and moving into the bathroom
with the grace of a thousand moons
shining down on me and soothing my ails
whatever ails may be left to exhume
i nod off to sleep slowly and silently
in the warmth of comfort your life exudes

i am yours to elude
