Here I am again,
     how strange to awaken
For the first time
     to the beautiful face
And to feel my limbs
     enlocked by this woman,
Our arms like handles
     on a china vase,
Which we form and fire
     within our embrace,
Two separate beings
     fusing the moment,
Red brushed on our cheeks
     and the smooth white glaze
Of two bare bodies,
     a resting instrument ~

Expressionless and set
     fixed in our place
After our passion,
     shining and silent,
The fragility of life
     through which we race
Having yielded our love
     and not broken,
We lie holding on
     making ourselves a space
For the muses to fill
     and then we listen ~
