Poem, "Embrace"

...So let us embrace


each other, all of Us.

Let our arms intertwine

as beautiful serpents.

For we are not so diferent

as it is often supposed.

We can put more than

our heads together.

And love is not

confined between our legs.

LOVE is not confined at all.

We walk through it every moment,

Breath it in with every breath.

These forms we preen,

fuss over and cover

are less solid than lace.

Not such a barrior

after all.

So let our serpent arms entangle

and the wind blow in

through lace curtains...

The Sun is coming up.
