and I have pressed my whole body
into the service
of remembering your body
and mine has only one task-
to hold your form,
so that I can trace the line
of your ballerina chin
on the hollow of my chest:
so that I can feel the small of your back
when I touch my wrist:
so I can taste you when I close my eyes.
I still have your handprints on my back (which is
your back)
sunk into my white plaster skin,
holding,
lingering,
being remembered-
treasured.
Waiting,
yearning,
for the day
when you will make (fresh) another cast.55
