POSITIONS OF LOVE
There are so many positions of
love:
each curve on a
branch,
the thousand ways your eyes can hold
us,
the infinite shapes each mind
can draw,
the spring orchestra of
scents and sounds wafting through the air,
the currents of light combusting
like
passionate
lips,
the revolution of the universe’s skirt, whose
folds
contain other worlds,
our every sigh that falls against
His
inconceivably close,
omnipresent,
divine
body
