Lukewarm

The body remembers
the space,
the shapes,

the body remembers

lukewarm cups of tea

that won't burn your mouth
like those old memories will if you
insist on
gulping them down
hotter than
the end of January.

Lukewarm is better
safer
wrap your palms around
and the skin
won't
feel a thing

It's been years
since I was here

but I remember
the shapes
this space

and the comfort of
lukewarm
in flickering candle light.
