Aching beneath you in the dying spring light
entered and entering each other’s dusk
the whole history of shadows on each
other’s backs playing tumbleweeds as if
we were but endless prairies, sprawled
with lichen, cacti, greening the brown body
of the land in finger trails of never being
content with only this thrash of flesh on
flesh but with clouds overhead, yes, whiter
than your light-snatched thighs, and refusing
the dark.
