                                           Tangible Evidence
                                             by Diane Oatley

This started out being about me, too, something
  about you caused me pain helped
  release sorrow either as reminder
of former hurt or of the impossibility of touch.

I press fingertips one by one
into your chest, dig nails into
your back squeeze all the air
out of you and you (the rock who did not
  tuck away as my hand fell out to greet it, but
  rolled forth with heavy purpose to meet me)
remain now stonily indifferent.
