you emerge from the gauze of your falling robe,
coming to me in your aloneness,
our tangled bed giving away our secrets
I uncover your breasts, the whisper of your
divine delicate moans twisting around us
as I write my name on your heart
the horizon on the curve of your back arches
to meet the dawn, then as one like gnarled veins
we cling to each other afraid to let go, as we help
each other to a repast of our divine
we finish tasting each other with a hungered crescendo,
folds of the pillow fashion a ladder out of hope,
as we climb to permanence as one
