Body, remember not only how much you were loved <br />not only the beds you lay on. <br />but also those desires glowing openly <br />in eyes that looked at you, <br />trembling for you in voices- <br />only some chance obstacle frustrated them. <br />Now that it's all finally in the past, <br />it seems almost as if you gave yourself <br />to those desires too-how they glowed, <br />remember, in eyes that looked at you, <br />remember, body, how they trembled for you in those voices.<br /><br />Constantine P.
