199/365 Touch

With his fingers

he could feel

the surface of the skin

the lines

the creases

the edges

 

Moving across

slowly

he felt

the tension

underneath

the waves

of deep

invisible movements

immobile breathing

 

revealed

through the surface

 

Pressing

just a little

harder

he felt

the hidden underground currents

reacting

shifting

following his own quiet movements

 

he felt

the tension

and the release

and the tension rising again

following his own movements

 

He kept exploring

with silent attention

 

for a little more

and a little more

 

and a little ...

and ...

 

 

And the stopped

and he listened

and he smiled

 

 

and

he decided

to press harder
