Fingerprints of Heat (Rainy Midnights under Sheets)

We lie here spinning
Held in place
between the embrace
of the sun
and the pull
of the wild full moon

Sounds of rain pound
Into the ground
And through the window
Hints of springtime
Fill the night air
Like an elixir;
An arousing tonic
As we touch
each other’s bodies
against the night.
