Boxer

Love
is a fight.

A struggle against the impossible.

I've got my sword ready,
reverberation of resilience.

I'll not be fooled
by your elasticity;
I'll have you
sink into me yet,
permanence,
sweet memory of silk-skin and
open legs,
I'm a mess and you're a mess,
we'll make
our minds
meld,
we'll make our miracles numb,
I'll find a way
to get out of .

Sweet child
of white,
of blinding white light,

Sundry temptation
disguising beauty,
and then
in slow motion,
Silence.
