The Ghosts of Sex
Loins of glass
show traces of lightning spreading
outward into fingertips and toes
ghosts of embrace and climax
a geography of lost delights
mapped by an impassive brain
across an excess of time.
Each ghost is its own beast
alone in a crystal jungle of unforgotten bliss
trapped in a sacrificial mirror
where ritual writhing
brought rain from a sky of remorseless bodies
to quench heartbeats for a instant
leaving behind in a flash a fleshless entity.
They haunt each other
believing only in a naked memory
where once they were one, forever
able to cast aside distance and harm
to drown mortal night
in a harried new dawn
that was their beginning.
