As Powerful As Her Touch
The agent was sprayed on the torso, on my chest,
A palm and hand print was clearly lifted,
The invisible presence of what was once recovered,
The hand was evident by the very lines finely etched,
Preserved the imprint of life that was in places
Some missing and blind where empty,
Unable to match the hand to the database of loves,
To the soft fleshy mass of sensation that outlined,
Over my heart the impression that I fell victim,
To die of love, for longing of sensation
As powerful as her touch.
