a book in which I am contained

between the pages
I found a feather
in the margins
notes written for me
the frantic desires
depicted for all to read
you collected me
in those pages

invisible to others
I see the silken threads
the ties, the knots
your dexterous fingers
working those

"I like the slide of your breath against my skin"
