In My Skin

by Joe Cramer

My skin screamed out in its depravation
Somewhere in sotto voce
Wanting to be touched, to be held
To be caressed without reservation
I long just to hold you, someone, anyone.
Such a gentle touch that I so long for
While my skin simply crawls in its loss.

"While my skin simply crawls in its loss." ... super punch line for the end of this poem. You grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me right in, Joe.
