I
Skin speaks to skin.
No apologies.
I love these oiled and gentle hands.
Touch me.

II
By this I am known:
Late afternoon sun
And you return at
Intervals, like a child,
With shell or seed or smile,
From barefoot journeys
Alone.

III
With native aversion to
Ceremony, you withdraw
And escaping,
Exercise your peculiar penchant
For ungoodbyes.

1999-2000
