In the silent intimacy of night,
time in flight drops fine old feathers
of delight.
A potent, inexorable entry
to the center of soft plunging.
What there was in the moment
was everything,
a subtle unmistakable
transmutation
in the invisible flame
of another consciousness,
so intimate, yet so utterly
out of touch.
Curious quiver of exchanging
consciousness,
a new stirring nakedness emerging
in pathetic two second spasms
of creativity’s shifting diversions.
Birds of desire asleep
in interlaced intricacy
of long slow habits
of intimacy.
The world is vast
and ghastly without
the courage of tenderness.
