Palms Down as if in Prayer.

Palms Down as if in Prayer

by james bezerra

I like how you like

to place your hands

palms down

on either side of the bathroom sink

when I lay my hands

palms down

on either side

of your spine

knead my thumbs

hard into your skin.

My fingers can feel

the bone inside your hips.

I like the sound you make,

little whisper

of wind

from between your lips.

The way you arch

back toward me.

How you close your eyes

and roll your shoulders,

relaxing your body

and tensing

your body

at the same time.
