passion

a pleiades poem for the 21-day poetry challenge----for my husband

Passion

Perhaps it rises slower now,
pleasuring requiring vast patience, tender skill.
Prayer mats of the flesh, our weathered bodies
plumb uncharted waters,
pushing, pulling, peeling away.
Palm to palm, breathing as one, we are
pelegian sailors that have jettisoned their maps.
