Skin washes skin, membranes are juxtaposed—
legs, breasts, arms, and lips
mingle as in a Picasso.
In which people hug the beasts,
and contrasted colors abound:
tanned and pale, olive and brown.
Blue on white: the de-facto background color.
Red is enhanced, in focus, thanks
to an exciting rush. Flesh in full blush.
Knights of many desires ride
in a race to taste it all, conquer feelings,
free prisoners from lifetime sentences.
Wind whistles gently as the skies light up
and stars get chatty. An evening on the rise.
An end leads to a beginning. All form
one body. Power is shared,
pleasure amplified; a dialogue
as intense and productive
as the taut clouds before the pouring rain.
