A DREAM ONE, IN THE NIGHT, ALL AND EVERYTHING

A Love Poem

Somewhere in the night, tonight, my lover

Is closing and opening his mouth, in soft, deep, quiet

and exuberant communication-

with some other, or others, of humanity.

Even, intense white teeth are showing. Who ever heard

of intense teeth-teeth which should

be slightly bitten by other teeth--this is

a special knowledge.

And as he closes his mouth there is the evidence

in its shape and expression

of the passion and sex of my lover-all his body-cells

conspiring to sustain the sexual consciousness

of this dream One;

And I, in another place yet attuned,

am recognizing on my mouth, the same.

And have been taking all the time.

huge orgasms

of life

from my love-involved with love as I am

and wedded by God

to the bones and back and fingertips of my love; concerned as I am

with eyes which are burning, kind, strong;

remembering as I am and knowing

one
