"Though her finger can’t reach ..."
*
Though her finger can’t reach
she’s telling you be quiet
as if there’s a word for it
shaped by a breath from where
the light on her face was lowered
–shadows know this, let you
lie there, go over the details
–from the start, her breasts
wanting so much to make a sound
cover the dirt with your mouth
pressing against her, begin
as silence, then nothing.
