TEMPTATION

I wonder if the temptation
runs both ways, if you
see my name and just
want to say, Hello
how's your day
did you have your coffee
this morning
is the work meaningful
I miss you

wonder if you wonder how
I'm doing, if the grading
is making me insane
if you stalk me on Facebook
like I do you sometimes
if you ever remember
kisses or laps or giggles
or legs locked in tangled
joy or if these things
are so splashed
with disappointment
that you have no good
memories of us

I wonder if the wonder
is fading, the memory
of touch so faint you
hardly notice that your
skin misses me like
my skin crawls for your
fingers, begs to be 
up under you, just to
touch you neck
