I Wish Things Were Simpler

That back, those shoulders & arms that lifted me clear off the floor & threw me onto the bed with a bounce, those hands that made me a soothing cup of tea, that plumped my pillows & tucked me in...
Your skin smells like nothing else on this earth
...I just want you to hold me but I'm sneezing instead. You laugh & say "steel doesn't catch cold" You get in, & I wrap myself around you & lay my head on your chest.
I don't ever want to go home again.
