There are so many positions of love:
each curve on a
branch,
the thousand ways your eyes can hold us,
the infinite shapes each mind
can draw,
the spring orchestra of scents and sounds wafting through the air,
the currents of light combusting like
passionate
lips,
the revolution of the universe’s skirt, whose folds
contain other worlds,
our every sigh that falls against
His inconceivably close,
omnipresent,
divine
body
