Sexy


You expect a thrill from beauty.

Intelligence livens you.

Other senses explode inside you, pointing to a wider, wilder life.

Suddenly, unexpectedly you two alone. The eyes locked on your face and body. The hands that know you. Whenever you glance at them a tactile memory.

Myriad songs. Each opening you once more to the stab in the guts -- harshness, kindness.

What's lovemaking? What's desire?

The ache and its satisfaction. The remembrance of a smell. All sights, all sounds overshadowed by the other.

When we kiss, when we waken, when we sleep, when we breathe. Ourselves alone. You. Me.

Fire.
