How much love is necessary to live?
A baby needs to be held
Does a woman
Does the feel of arms around you change what’s going on inside
or does it depend upon the arms
The fantasy of a warm summer night’s embrace is as real as a memory
is it as false as a lie
The brush of a stranger’s arm in a crowded room is less judgmental than a lover’s cold touch
is it less comforting
the weight of a leaning dog is more grounding than a license, warmer than metal holding the place of a promise meant in halves
accepted in pieces
