It's all about sex,

we both know that.

But what I wonder is

why

after every molecule of desire

in my body has been satisfied

after

the sudden moistening, the deep

fierce aching and rising heat,

after

the throbbing glory of release and the cries

of need and pleasure have dissolved

into the air,

Something like my soul slips from me

and goes to you,

without choice or question,

and wraps itself around you

all night, like the breath

of the moon

And why

I carry the thought of you

as constant as any sun

in my heart.
