What an amazing poem, Faye! I am blown away by how genuinely erotic and insightful it is. I'm going to to restack it and I want to quote you, but I could honestly pick any part of it, yet I've chosen this for reasons known only to Erato and the Muses. Well done!

"a butterfly dances / on soft pink daisies / lips part / breath releases shoulders / cracks open back of heart / thick and dark and forgotten / a serpent awakens / she / uncoiling / summons guttural sounding / tongue travels strange trajectories.

without words / i am remembering / what love means."

This is really profound. I'm in the dark and slippery, too.
