you are wrapped
like a starfish
around my body
back and forth
back and forth
nuzzling into my neck
drooling onto my shoulder
you guide my arm to your back
the moment i threaten
to slide you to your quiet bed
my frenetic days
and whirlwind evenings
feel like even this moment
is for hurrying
counting the backs and forths
but i try to stop
smell your head
cup your empanada feet
relish the warm weight of you
close my eyes and breathe.
