Their right wrist is flexed downward, and their left thumb is seemingly tucked in their fist. The poem reads as follows: Lessons of touch. A cat burrowed between my two sweaters, the first lesson of touch comes to me at seven on the drive home from the humane society. I twitch – of course I twitch – my shoulder jumps. So the cat moves and kneads a new spot between my sweaters, settling again – and again with the next spasm. This is how it is, how it's going to be, the simplest understanding. And soon we're asleep with each other, reconciled and warm and still.
