Electricity crackles
We make heat, light
Harnessing our instincts
Forging this waiting
In the fire of ancient imperatives
The human condition
With transcendent pause

This moat-crossing, cross-bearing, bear-skinning, skin-kisser
All softnesses
Who is most pleased by pleasing

Gives provisional tenderness
Probationary affection
Tentative attention
Halflove

And to me
Transcendent pause
