struck just so

This was published in volume three of Equinox: an excursion of stories, poems & essays (2006). -- KJ

feet slip under legs

sitting side by side on sofa,

mingling warmth and desire

backs hover

into perceptible touch:

sweet friction

riding the same vibration

of longing,

growing

mounting

with intensity

a giant tuning fork

struck just so

I shiver to contain

the bittersweet note that rises

when you are near.
