 HOW
GENTLE ARE WE RISING
How gentle are we rising
easy as eyes in sockets turning
intimate the hardness: jaw
upon jaw, forehead warm
upon forehead
kisses quick as breaths, without volition
Love: I am luminous
careless as love's breathing
~~♥~~
fluorescent glowing the fine
warm veins and bones
your weight,
the sky lowered suddenly
I am loved: a message
clanging of a bell in silence;
you are quickened with surprise
our horizons surrender to walls
~~♥~~
Are we wearing out
our skins' defenses? --
turning to silk, texture of flashy
airy surfaces scant as breaths?;
I'm in love - the noon slides gently
suddenly upon us to wake us
HOW gentle are we rising
as feather in the air
