Night’s joy begins early Sun setting You show me your teeth and run to the bedroom I follow and we begin to fall easily toward each other, Alexa…play… My eyes focus in on your steel eyes, each silver hair on your chin Something sings outside, birds, frogs? They are laughing, cheering. The bed is too soft, but the floor is better. Tonight, you will be my object of worship, my deity. I dedicate my pleasure to the cause. Each rolling wave, I hold tighter, hold my breath. I wrap you in each passing daydream, each fervent prayer, tighter and tighter A spider’s web round and round you, round and round me Until each glistening thread breaks, all at once. And we fall Away Laughing. Amen.

There are many ways to pray.

Each rolling wave, I hold tighter, hold my breath. I wrap you in each passing daydream, each fervent prayer, tighter and tighter A spider’s web round and round you, round and round me Until each glistening thread breaks, all at once. And we fall Away Laughing. Amen.
