stone streets
there are lovers everywhere
the dark faces pressed up
against each other
the knobby streets sanguine
with their passion
arms entwined and buried
one body with two minds
.
turning the corner
giggles of embrace fill the air
so lightly I step
as not to break the trance
a butterfly
awash by light
floats on waves of music
the smile turns to find it
and here there are lovers
with teasing lips and fingers
and in their hungry appetite
their teeth knock together
free at last
.
