love, anatomically speaking
somewhere deep within this mass of skin & bones
perhaps in some unconscious part of my brain,
[beyond gray matter & synapses & neurons & all thought]
part of me is begging you:
touch your hands to the [dead] skin cells on my face,
press your mouth to mine
[against all scientific reason, I believe that this alone
will teach my lungs to take in air]
