Indian Paintbrush Indian Paintbrush
Like the cat who sleeps

on my bed, you lie curled
in the warmth my body left.

You linger in my hair, in my
perfume. The covers keep
your rare orchid in memory.

The bed breathes
when I'm not in it, waiting
like silver water for me.

I'll slip in again, to rouse
your purring belly with the
sun-stone of my hand.
