i like your body When
 
it is with my body,
without walls, encircled by the wooded, sculling river.
night bugs sing sweet, sticky love songs,
while copper streetlight noise falls and mingles with the stars.
silent trees so solid in their hold of earth,
emit warm ghosts that taste of dirt.
racy moonlight strokes bare fingers and faces,
skims back sweaters, carves belly button shadows.
our body, mine and Yours,
a yin-yang recycling breath.
