For _________

Your hands molded melted silver,
arranging amethysts and amber.

My hands grasped the clasp;
your fingers fingered my breasts.

You serenaded my neck with your lips,
dusting me with specks
from your grass-greening hands.

Bearded boy beneath my palms;
labial lullabies beneath sylvan shadows.

Love was the word I could not speak,
the word you would have spoken.

When your hands molded my necklace, our token,
did sapphires sing beneath your palms
like our love unspoken?
