pressed flowers (in your spine)

By sanglante

let me be
the flower pressed
in between your pages,
my petals tickling your
gently curving spine.

i'm a stem that has
rooted intself
within the caverns of
your drawn out breaths
and chest.

my leaves brushing
that special place
in between your tired
and sagging shoulder blades.

and you sigh
as if nothing else
could possibly matter
in a moment that is shared
only between

you and i.
