You in Me

“I think of you in bed, your tongue half chocolate, half ocean…”
— Anne Sexton


Sometimes words run dry
desire doesn't let
any other word
fit my goose-bump skin

my heart is ice
my veins on fire
the palace of memories
crumbles

I think of jigsaws
and half-globes 
do they fit?
like you in me

and I imagine eyes
hands, thighs, feet
you falling sunshine
I a patch of sleet!
