Trusted with the lips of others,
with the flesh of hip
of breast and back,
treated them all with
the respect they deserved,
with the fumbling earnestness
that comes with naiveté,
and that only comes
with youth.

How we learn, we of
young fingertips electric
in their reaching,
how we are taught
on long couches
in the pale light after
curfews missed,
how we come to life
when skin finds skin
in the blooming
of clumsy
passion.
