Urgency is consumed
By beauty
Nature dressing
Slowly leafing
Nether parts
Forcing the urgent
Lover to work
Peeling her petals
For nectar
That which
Keeps the world
On its axis
Even as he is still,
Cradled
In her arms
Face up
Under downy-warm skies
He dreams
Youth tangled in nights
And limbs
Images
Impossible to share
Who will understand
In light of fear?
Consider:
The world is no more
A fearful place
Than before
Rather:
We have grown
More fearful.
Still he dreams
Fearless
Nature laughs
Slipping into something
More comfortable
The mornings after
