The stream of the hot shower strikes right between the collarbones.

pinning me to the seat with the firm grip of your hand.
Muscles numb submissively, waiting for a breath by the ear.
Cold nylon.<\/em>

The collar of the wool coat imprisons the tense shoulders,
settles on the bare spine with your blind precision,

A pulse in the temple.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
