Description

did you ever know
the kind of touch that's
panoptic, like it knows
you're hiding in vertiginous
crevices of doubt and
sees you in the dark, hears
your bated breaths, lights
a candle so you remember what
glowing looks like?

did you ever know
the kind of touch that
leaves warm ghosts
in your skin, soft like
slumber.

did you know it's
almost seraphic - how
hell hoards your lost pieces
but there's a touch
that finds them.

did you know there's
a kind of ache that
clamps down on your lungs,
makes your soul all sore
in search of a source.

and did you know.

there's

a kind of touch that's
tinder to your secrets, sets
the unsaid on fire as it fumigates
your chest cavity, furiously
forlorn.
