Yes

You talk of the line
we crossed once, tentative
like tigers, famished
on the outskirts of depthless desire:
yes, it is a risk--
but when you asked the question, then,
'yes' was also my answer.

You talk of the line
we both ignored, thieves
that we were and have become,
and I don't remember regret,
save for that which we did not do--
but heaven help you now, if you ask it,
because 'yes' will be yours again.
