To read without breathing
between these fragments of words
find me
with your lips
here, press your finger to them
now and say tongue
nipple waist toe
belly button earlobe
Neck offered
a wrist exposed
These things we hide
to discover
beneath beneath
like crying or dreaming
The laughter we seek
as destination, a drawing-
bodies as bridges
arched spine arm elbow thigh
warm blood coursing
below the surface
The thoughts sent to air
or paper
The perfect wisdom of bodies

I really cannot leave you a simple comment about this poem.
It is, of course, masterful.
Beyond that, my words fail me.
