#5/30 "Muscle Memory"

I have a vague memory
of water on glass: a fingertip
gently kissing surface tension, dragging
drops to a reservoir until rivulets
broke free and flowed
down a darkened window to the sill.

Your pale chest is that dark window
when I prod drops left clinging from the shower
across your constellated skin.

My hand is young, your chest
a curious partition
protecting irrigation from a storm.
