In Fidelity

You reach out to her. She reaches out to you. Your hands are a flower Folding in the night.
Together in the dark You couple your bodies. When the flower opensIt will all be over.
Ecstasy so brief In bodies ephemeral Gives way to tears so deep From your silence you speak.
Tomorrow when it fades The flower will fall, Your bodies submit To their usual wont.
You can’t be rooted One in the other. From the first touch you knew You’d never be enough.
