Shivering in the Heat of Time, a verse

I shiver in the desert heat,

   gazing as the poet at the echos

      rebounding from the memory chest,

               touching with sweet pleasure

                     our downy surfaces, our violet whispers.

You are right here near my bony left elbow

     seven thousand miles away, so close

              that your skin rubs mine into silk

                          and causes my few hairs to sing cantatas in mandarin chinese.

Rilke sits nearby composing sonets to lost doves,

            And your voice pierces the air wrapped ´round my heart,

                  And your hands caress the wind as cummings chews on roasted blue berries

                       And you caress the wrinkes on my fingers,

                              as if they were but puppy fur, 

                              your, vast eyes of red blue.

And so we hear each other eeking and creaking

          And so we feel each other clicking and clacking

                     And so we touch each other sobbing and laughing

                               And so we await each other as we wait for the bacon and eggs

                                          next morning, with love in our toes and joy in our hearts.

Locked in the dear crevice of my heart

           I look up awaiting the night´s hidden light

                       so as to ask  you how we should speak to that hidden star,

                                 how we should memorize the caresses our gods have bestowed on us

                                so indulently, so surprisingly, with so much inner music.
