Description
So I thought today
of all the sounds I heard:
the sweep of your windbreaker as you threw it aside
the jingle of your keys above my head
and the breaths you took.
I remember each one.

I thought today
of all the things I felt:
the ice cold wind that numbed my toes
the warm deep hollow of your neck
and the jerk of our jaws colliding.
it all mixes in.

I thought also
of all the things I saw:
your eyelashes curled down
and the christmas tree jungle gym
naked lamps and soft skin.
But I mostly had my eyes closed.

Despite my lacking sense of smell,
that night I breathed it all!:
the smell of an early snow
the pungent grass and the waxy plastic
and of course, there was you.
You smelled best, I'm sure.

I thought of the taste
Oh! the taste!
fresh mint gum turned bitter with time
your lips were sweet while mine were sour
and your teeth. Yes, your teeth.
None could ever taste the same.
