To Lick Glass
I licked the frosted glass to make it clearer.
As glass cleared away I saw the world dearer,
and it saw me.
I traded privacy
to taste frost you can no longer see.
I traded my bare naked corpse,
in return, I saw another's.
A fleshy thing, to be sure.
But I could only taste love
if her tongue found a cove
with me along. Then we'd
be happy together- But,
we'd both be naked.
