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
