Dissolved Fig Leaves

Fragments of last nights dream.

Disrobed & sweltering
Curiosity & anticipation
Evident in pearls of mind-filled guilt
Pooling in valleys of collarbone
Moonlit highlights
Inumbrate hollows
Assailable in our barren perfection
In our starkness
Face-to-face
& our long awaited questions & wonderment is clarified.

I accept the fruit from the serpent
Offer it to you
You decline.
You brew coffee
And add, "let's hold each other"
Pearls of guilt harmonize
Our moonlit highlights & Inumbrate hollows swirl,
We are at peace together, warmth and comfort,
Our lovers are at home awaiting,
Our questions are answered,

Knowing of what could never have been.
