dichterliebe 1

new monster

zinc-white and subtle,
the drag of a blunt nail across a lower lip.

the purples and sables
of your dress; the sineal curve
of your hair tossed into the wind
that touched

your face.

i stood behind you and that same
wind blew
against me.

remembered perfumes, later,
bright in mind as colors.
lips pressed into a palm like milk.
lips lapping each other.
i said your name
and reached

inside.
