TWITCHES IN TWILIGHT

  

Come and lay your slender body next to mine

Release the day’s weight into the night

I feel the first of your many twitch sonatas

Your silky body gives away to a neighbor at hand

Me this time, I pray

Second and third will shortly follow

Tiny explosions of your soul

I know this well

Each night I spent lying next to your sweet, peach-like aromatic skin

You drifted into another world, world of unknown to most
Even to me

Your mind disconnected your body putting up fight galore
To keep

Your endless desire for action, for life, to continue to be awake

Is my only translation of these twitches

Always on the move, never asleep yet soundly unaware of

My hand on your neck, grafting, coding your shapes into memory

Twitching turns into a rhythmic dance

I witness nightly and embrace

The tenacity in which you sleep: I comprehend

You twitch twice into the twilight

Once into my hand, as if I touched an electric wire
I'd say

Shock, and all is quiet now and again until another

Twitch between my breasts when you lay your head

As you turn at a glacial pace

Come and lay your sweet slender body down,

Next to mine, in mind and in thought

Play the tones of an old guitar

I will slide onto your back,
Balance as a corpse and read the letters on the wall straight ahead

Jumping over each other, knowing the next current is but a short count away

Twitches in twilight

How I crave to feel and collect the bundles of life,

Breaks of your energy untapped, unleashed

Come and lay your slender body next to mine

Twitches in twilight are just a reminder

Energy circle now as it is now, two minus one.
