NO, STAY THERE

she said
with her hand,
light, yet full
of urgency.
My mouth
wrote
curlicues
inside
her privacy.
I signed
my name
with my breath.

THERE'S A SPACE

that's ours
alone.
You know
that space.
The space
that allows
you
to breathe.
It's there
in the space
between
confusion
& conspiracy,
between
form
& shadow,
between
doubt
& conviction.
Treasure
that space.
Make love
in that space,
to
that space.
Be eternally grateful
for that space--
it's all
you have
& all
anyone
ever
gets.
