Crook of the Neck

In the crook of my 
neck right above 
the collarbones 
where women dab their perfume 
and lovers' kisses are placed 
lies a spot
where the skin is 

soft
fragile
(so easily bruised)

and if I sat there quietly, 
you would be able to 
see the vein 

beating 
pulsing 
(delicately just so)

or perhaps you'll feel it 
accelerate beneath 
the brush of fingertips
in a wave of 

tingling 
rushing
(oh).
