love the human

love the human - gary snyder

the subtle slip of flesh

the intermingling of breath

 

the awesome act of

one mouth opening

of one ear listening

 

of one hand reaching

to caress one cheek

lightly pressed

 

Author's Note

i'm not sure if this is complete ... perhaps it is ... perhaps it isn't ... all i know is that this is the simplest act of intimacy and the one i miss more than any other ... so maybe it is enough as it is ...
