one, another

warm chills dash up the spine only to flow backwards
toward dancing in no space

between bodies indistinguishable from the best cooking nature has served
upon steaming platterless floors

dizzy with a swooning regard for the indeterminate future
which oddly seems to have a purring tail

that drives me past crazy toward monastic revelry
knee deep in the whimsy of evening

getting to hide one another is how we know we are intimate
out in the savannah with cheetahs lurking sniff sniff

by the eternal waterhole at which anxious drinkers
become mired in mud to sip obstinance from a straw that

elongates my vertebrae into the dream of skyscrapers
and whistling clouds that amble past

leave their tattoos on my neck like the footsteps of hickies
and subtle emanations pulse for no message

but the relative peace of driven eye kisses
when no touch allows only the severe thrust of my gaze into

pools of blush
quivered from the adrenaline like rapidity of getting to know one

another
