Untitled - June 28, 2002

Where every moment
of anticipation
carries an underlying layer of anxiety,
any performance becomes magnified
by the knowledge
that countless eyes
are watching
and reading
the end results.

The salty remnants of tears -
whether from joy
or exhaustion,
slide slowly
downwards,
kissed away
by a moments hesitation,
and carried off
in a slight flick of the tongue.

As fingertips hover
against pearl white,
expectations are on the verge
of exploding outwards,
pouring into a rapidfire
cascade of touches,
until all that is left,
are the black and white images
imbedded on simple white,
leaving the receiver breathless,
and the giver exhilarated.
