i knew 
the exact moment
the switch 
turned on -
the pressure 
on my back
your hand 
tangled 
in my
hair, elusive 
hormones 
streaming 
thru my being 
aligning my spine 
my stress 
escaping 
into the atmosphere 
i know better
 after four years 
still it happens 
and i am glad 
it does  
i am still awake
