Our self-restraint appalls me. If we were
only weak, better, strong enough to lay
aside the others, cradle the way
you and your loose aura of smells and hair<\/p>\n
do. We both know we’re ready. Fear
retains us, of friends and what they say,
of the rush when we let come what may
and public inhibitions disappear.<\/p>\n
Why should we keep the upper hand?
They want us to please, but just to please.
Were you and I to find an empty room,<\/p>\n
an afternoon to meet with nothing planned….
Standing, inhaling, giving good-by\u00a0bises
<\/i>is breathing proof of all that I presume.<\/p>\n\n\n
