The silence sets in After a day of nerves and preparation After the trip filled with loud music and shaky voices The silence sets in After the sweat turns clothes damp After the dressed become harnesses of body and mind The desirous chills die down and strong ones come to play This is before the silence really sets in After the short seperation creating burning sparks in the night air This naughty lust breaks upon arrival, reunion is sweet never bitter Nausea unyielding, the silence has begun Voices rise and fall Raw conversation leaves an awkward aftertaste A solem realization that a good time is being had Over at the eleventh hour, progress slow but promising The point of contact is the center of the world, like a shared halo glowing insanely Nausea is, as it always had been, pride and confidence and splender Lasting until the silence, permeated with uncertainty and starving passion, sets in again
