And when at last  
the breeze comes  
on the breath of night,  
the whole body sings  
with the chill of it—  
craves the cool lick  
of sharp tongues  
on the skin, the bite  
of the distant storm.  
Touch me here,  
says my flesh,  
as if I’ve been waiting  
all day for my lover—  
here, touch me here.  
And it feels so good  
when the wind slips in  
and does what a breeze will do,  
but the wanting—  
I notice how it, too,  
has something  
painfully beautiful  
to teach me.
