The body holds its changes even after the parasite leaves

a cold, wet seat on a winter deck without a tarp
I shiver and dream of sinking into a strange sofa
while cards are on the table in a game of waiting

planets orbit resolving around each other
tumbling clothing reset into rapture piles
a memory of the first time they made contact

the taste of garlic and cold through the veins
gentle whirr-whirr whirr-whirr whirr-whirr
behind my eyes crawls a different memory
