In these close quarters,
the altered rhythms
of our breath,
the strong mix of sweat
and saliva smells like-
the sick-sweet ache
of thorough thrill;
an uncaged thing
its new, fuller range
delightfully discovering.
The cry that quakes
and quenches our
thirsty throats
sounds like-
old pain exorcised;
wrongs and wounds annealed;
new joy tapped
while time writhes,
warping, bending-
union.
