She came
from the haze that cloaked the
curves of sheer.  

Catching my breath, calming the
tremor of my hands and wiping
the blur from eyes wide, staring
as a mouth caught flies.

A dream perhaps, one played over
and again, as the record skipped
in an endless circle...and then.

The touch, light upon the arch of
one’s back...tracing curves around
minute droplets of sweat....a sultry
night....slowly cooling, slowly
waning as dawn awaits.

And now, even now, after the sun
has sought the eye, touched the
end of a sleeping arm...rustling
the murmur...before the sigh and
tear that followed....again, again.

So, where?  Where is the novel
that these tenders belong?

It is time, Sir.

perfection...bittersweet moments
bending us to our knees, so good
