craving

I dreamt of touch
And hammerhead sharks
Swimming in your livingroom 
I opened the door and let them free
A sideways smile as they slipped by to the street
We sat as old friends do
Limbs over limbs
A gentle hand resting
The weight of intimacy 
Even in dreamland, oxytocin healing

I dreamt of touch

And hammerhead sharks

Swimming in your livingroom 

I opened the door and let them free

Sideways smile shared 

Slipping to the street


We sat as old friends do

Limbs over limbs over limbs

A hand resting

The weight of intimacy 

Healing




I don't like the last line. But I hate the sound of the word "oxytocin". Though that's exactly what happened in the dream, that pulse of hormone from touch.
