Yoin
She had an endless collection of quilts
on her bed, which we’d crawl
under and find each other back when we did such things, but on the night
in question we were atop the quilts, as she was showing me the
constellations of moles on her body. She was quiet, telling me a secret,
the feeling of being let in on something that was present in my every
interaction with her. I followed her fingers with mine across the
goosebumps, trying to remember the names, the shapes. Months later, when
we were dancing, I followed the constellations with my fingertips and she
held on to me as though afraid of falling off the earth.
