only eyes
connecting
lips touching
hands exploring
garments falling
flesh merging
merging
the piano man
caressing
the ivory keys
in the theatre
the music
seeping
into the walls
heavily breathing

“Now in this book there are a lot of stories about talking animals: talking snakes, and birds, and fish; and about people who try to communicate with them.
John Lilly, the guy who says he can talk to dolphins, said he was in an aquarium and he was talking to a big whale who was swimming around and around in his tank.
And the whale kept asking him questions telepathically.
And one of the questions the whale kept asking was:
do all oceans have walls?”
Laurie Anderson “John Lilly“
This we know:
“All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth
Befalls the sons of the earth.
Man did not weave the web of life,
He is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web,
He does to himself.”
All things are connected.

Do you remember when we
were young and growing
wild in the meadow?
Wind blowing through
Our hair.
Butterflies fluttering
About in the air.
We could breathe
smaller breaths then.
And dance around for
hours on end not caring
about what lies ahead.
But being suspended in time
and this place.
An unsullied happiness
and a stolen
moment, that
we put into a jar
to keep close and safe.
