The Dream We Both Had

I am lying
curved away and into
you, your
hands
(hands, hands)
inside my hair

pressing
thumb to neck, folding
me into myself
a rose-bloom
in reverse

and I am
spread like dough
under your rolling pin arms

you are starlight
purplish gleam and pearl
fire dripping from your
braids
and I am trying not to kiss you
and I am trying not to kiss you
and I am trying not to kiss you
