December Touch

You slow to a stop
so I may knead your
taught shoulders,
make them lithe again.
Touch you, I am so
close to your shoulders so
as to feel the heat coming
off of your body.
You're not trying to
prove anything to me
or be funny, witty, or
crazy, you're open wide
and you just drive now.
In black night with stars
that you know all about
and black resevoir
and passing cars,
you drive.
