i am that method
by which hands reach out
and complete the journey as touch
as feel
as held as breath in an infinite moment
i am that method
by which breath is smoked cool
seeping into body whole
completely
known only as blanket as skin
i am that method
by which wave upon wave of looks
and smiles are broken upon your shore
barricaded
forbidding yet foreboding the crush of surrender
i am that method
by which the stillness of two
becomes one long hushed
wait
for hand to meet cheek and leave you whole
