i'm reminded of the poem
that reads in parts of a truism,
i thought, if it was true then a date certain
would be easy - i thought
yesterday - that such a date
is not needed - that love
evolves away at times from
sexuality - love is intimacy
most easily felt in the act
of flesh on flesh - then there
is freedom - freedom knowing
the other is simply breathing
accepting that love is there
a renaissance of a love's return
and the flesh learns that it has
lost
