the last morning

the last morning

you in a voice          
thin     in whispers
came when i in a state of      undress
had none but           thin      
cottons to shield me
from distances you were planning
on keeping
as the secrets we kept
this long     under cotton
sheets and whispers
in whispers you told me
i in skins      received them and
removed      
stretched it over arm
and neck     slid off the layer
deflated form of my bust once
the width      of two of your hands
spread across my chest
in previous times

this time     dropped over your shoulder
this skin      a memento
that i let you this close
under the layers     for the price
of your whispers
