Unhurried

run your fingers
across my soul
as though tracing
a language only you know

let your thoughts
rest quietly on my flesh
unhurried
free of questions
simply there
like evening light
on an open page

and let me be
every word
that falls from your hands
inked in breath
pressed softly
onto your waiting pages

let me be the line
you return to
the quiet sentence
that lingers
after the book is closed
