On the Verge

I can close my eyes and clearly taste

the first bite of ripe summer peach

the juice dripping down my chin

into the cupped bowl of my hand

sticky and warm from the sun

on the verge of something

tangible and sweet—but I still

don’t know the words for

the color of your eyes or

the feel of your skin

as I run my fingers

down your arm
