Back
for Jade

I could explain it in a poem
but then we'd both be uncomfortable
with that

the image of her bare back
and my fingers running writing 
invisible words upon it

the smoothness of her skin
the hill and valley of each
bone of her spine

how the light shines
over her horizon
like a new dawn
