POINTS ON THE GRID

STEPS OF LOVE
Coming out of your clothes you were
girl in the night
............................naked in a strange house
............................receptive to a question
............................of what I would do
you were for the first time
uncovered to me
your two white shoulders thin in the air
hunched & shining there
& breast turning to me
cool skin of unimagined girl suspended in shadow
& hands now bashful
searching for a place to rest behind you
.........................You listened to my silence
.........................you gathered something in your mind
.........................and you danced on your bare feet
.........................with your long arms to meet me
