A kiss between your shoulder blades

You're at the sink. Or by the stove.
I come up quiet from behind.
A kiss between your shoulder blades —
Then cheek to spine. Then peace of mind.

I'd hear your heart — the real one, not
The one I guess from texts and calls.
But we're still two in different spots,
Still living in two separate walls.

Not yet. Not now. But I believe —
One day you'll turn and let me stay.
A kitchen small. A winter eve.
And I won't have to imagine. Kay?
