the memory of tenderness
drawn on 
my skin

I wonder:
if every touch I ever received
would have left a mark
would I be covered
with thin, golden lines:

from my fingertips to my temples,
from my calves to my neck
my hands heavy
with the weight of embraces -

sometimes
I wish I could see
all the love
that has passed through me

the love drawn on me
and the love I have drawn
on you

we’d be
nothing but light

and I could see
in you
the places
still in need of gold.
