the way your skin covers around it
making the folds tight for the sun to arrive
my right hand, itchy,
fails me at touching back those
that touch me
if I told my mother
I would imagine her laughing
with a sound so loud my ears will shake
to the act that was once boiled on a grandmother's chest
that spring touching us is green, like money
like things used once and never fully
left behind
