Come Closer

Though it's the finest, thinnest silk,
To me, it’s the most unbearable thing in the world.
Like oceans, like mountains, like rivers with no bridge,
it stands between your skin and mine.

My dearest, take that wretched thing and cast it aside.
Let my breasts feel your full weight.
Let my skin drink the warmth of your touch,
and in that touch, let me be intoxicated.

Press your body so close to mine,
closer, until even the air has no space.
I’ve endured this separation for long enough.
Let this terrible ache die down under your weight
