Hands and mouth circled my body
like a shark,
and I was the prey.
I closed my eyes to pretend to be alone
or away from where I was at that moment.
Opening my eyes,
I'm was sitting on the couch.
Blinking, I inhaled the remnant of scent
from hair that rubbed against the couch cushion.
How long will it linger before
never coming back?
