He won't touch with his hands,
But with his fingertips.
Soul connects with soul
And darkness collides with
The bluish-gray streaks of
My dying light. He won't speak
But will throw prickly intimacies
Into the thin, electric air.
He won't demand
But will beg. Silently. Plead
With eyes stricken with
Hunger pangs. And I give in
To the misguided summons of my
Starved soul. Him,
Feeling too strong. I,
Feeling too weak.
Passion rages against sense,
And sense falters with a final, dying
Cry. I am thrown where olden
Hands don't touch. Where only him can
Reach me. And I
Let him wash over the dying flames
With a new dampness. I let him…
And oh, how he touched me.
The stranger touched me.
