in Closure –

I break my back subsuming Solitude

in my learning – airs

lighter than these fires come to

console me in the darkness

of your hurried

glance your enchanted rhythms drummed

against your

shoulder blades my fingers tapping out an

intimate Heat

with longing surging released consummated

here in your bed you breathe

heavily with a sure composure satisfied so

I might hold

you here until daybreak --
