I would remain by night with you who, having held me once, wrapped everything I knew into my sleeping body's hold and held fast and stayed. You shuttled in sleep against me and away, not sleeping, beached and exhausted by wine and rushes from another life whose body my body meant to alter. But I am wayfaring and recently wrecked; I understand the cost of pulling free from what once loved you. I would remain by night with you, if the night is clear enough to see by, and the wind light enough to draw the stars in the skin's skies open, and the waves you sensed through the dress in the wind are real, and only mine.
