Upstairs downstairs

Turn, twist, into a field of view

A scattering of leafless trees

A bunch, hung in mistletoe

Unsung but knowing


Over tiled rooftops on into grey sky

From a warm bed

With touch, without distance

Unseen but knowing


Fingers, footprints; my just to touch

Under quilted satin covers

With tender rapturous thoughts

Inclined, and yes, I showing


Laps of fabric, folds of skin

Gossamers of purest nightshade

Warm oils, burnt incense

The musk my love, flowing
