Last Time
It is gone from memory
the last time you touched me
To think of it
is to walk into a wall of fog
that doesn't clear
that deepens, whitens
we did love well
sometimes
but as each cell in the body
has exchanged itself with a new one
over and over
nothing remains, no echo
of your hands
once moving where and how
