Inundated 
a poem

by Christina Brown

I felt lost inside your shirt,

swimming and spacious,

inundated in the smell of you.

It lingers, even though you've gone.

And I still feel your weight

pressing me down into the blankets.

Your hips in line with mine

like a perfect shadow,

Your phantom heartbeat a

bittersweet ache for comfort.

I've left the beaches behind,

their salty kisses and sweltering

embraces becoming only a fond

memory
.
