Janet Grillo

Last night the room was filled with you.

The taut ivory arc as you leaned

the length of it.

The salty oil of your black curls

scenting the space in a wave.

Your heat like the ocean sun

running my body, covered

and uncovered.

No other man can have a cock but you.

The miracle of its moody transformations

sitting like a perfect mushroom on a tuffet

waiting to be discovered

Then a loud alert--Become

the arrow searing towards the life we cannot plan.

I do not dream now when I sleep

but wake to live in you

Within this room of transformation

where we rise and fall

like a tide that wants

to blanket all the sand

and almost can.
