if here & now is all there is,
we need to be
lovers.
we need to touch.
to enjoy the ins & outs
of the flesh.
to be completely in our bodies
& then some.
in any case,
why shouldn’t we simply
care for eachother?
to kiss & feed & hug &
cuddle?
the satisfied soul
finds happiness
in this flesh.
how can the soul forget
the curve of the buttocks?
the feel of the small of the back?
what it’s like to be tickled or
licked here & there?
love is what’s beyond
forgetting. when the soul
writes a poem, the heart
reads it over &
over again.
you & i.
here & now.
the cosmos converging
to a single point.
what more in this universe
to believe in?
