It is on damp nights
When I recall those moments
Of light rain washing over hair
eyes darting over bronzy shimmer
Tasting the salt on air on skin
When your touch quelled the quiver in my throat
It is a tapestry of nothingness and everything
It is the textured sky of gray wishes
And the incense that lingers
It’s on damp nights
When I recall those moments
When we want the same
We are the same
