my skin still felt of you
when i awoke but
you were long gone.

at last the rain came
in a gasping rush
of falling air in climax,
and something else
had been released,
or had let go of its hold
upon my tender flesh.

i did not understand it,
only that it had to do with
aching skin and heart that
keeps on loving even though
today you are long gone.
