Your Skyline


I am familiar
With the
your skyline,

Although I have
Never seen it,

Because night after night
I imagined you
traversing it,

Fluttering between streets,
Wine with your mother,
Or between friends,
Bra straps gliding
Gracefully down off
Your shoulder,

You merrily
dragging it back up
To kiss your collarbone,

Thinking of me,

Imagining my fingertips
As yours grace the shoulder
They belong to,

In my mind you
are the skyline of the city
you are learning
To call home

Sometimes jagged,
Sometimes piercing,
Always resisting stagnation,
Sometimes fogged,
Sometimes teasing,
Always resisting temptation,

And those lights-
I'm sure
they still
think of me,

As they go on
Twinkling,
Far far from here.
