14th June 1999

The skin beneath my eyes
Heavy and tight
A reminder
Of warm tears
Caressing my face
Materializing secrets
Which congregate
Leaving my pillow damp
But somehow
Evaporate during my sleep
And find their way back
Into my aching body
Before morning

So beautiful.

So self-affirming.

So human and real.

So unique and so you.
