the masseuse

she weighed
almost nothing.
which you liked.
because then she
could walk across
your back,
stretching
the muscles,
making the bones
along the spine
sing, and crack.
she was like
a bird without
wings with wide
arched feet.
slowly she moved
along your sore
and tired muscles.
it wasn't like
making love, but
it was close.
very close.
