where silence and breath entwine

Michael Clowers 1972

Free verse
Dew drenched notions in the wake of rapture,
Led by the hand and heart
At what hour did the outline of your being steep into the fabric of mine?
The embrace within a deep gaze, or the fingertip’s delicate trace upon the composition of the soul?
A tender touch from you lips inflame desire
I am left in want,
Between the spaces where silence and breath entwine
