There is a feeling here.
Something words fall before.

the way you breathe
the way you talk
the way you
                                                 f e e l

Slow.
I caress your side slowly,
as if it were burning porcelain.

your breath hitches
your breath slows
your breath

Even as I inch towards
your elegant frame, I hesitate.

something in your eyes
something in your smile

                  less than three

Moment.
Clasping the trophy of your
love, I hold it to my chest.

like a warm hand
like a warm breast
like a warm

Is it the fall that kills you or the anticipation, I wonder? Enjoy.
