On anatomy

I never thought bones could be this fascinating
and then I met your body; began to study it.
I do believe that I could fall in love
with your bones.
You know my fondness for your hands-
how I can spend hours looking
at the sweet domes of your knuckles,
caressing each metacarpal, kissing your palm-
but you were not aware of my infatuation
with your scapulae. Or of how we flirted behind
your back-
they nestling in my palms the way I would
snuggle up to you at night.
