how do I make love 2014

 

do I make love to her

let me count the ways

to touch the nape of her neck

the space beneath her breasts

the small of her back

 putting fingers into the space

that needs a key to unlock it all

 all this time later I still lack

 the combination she says

is needed to unlock her heart

 love a vague notion

that transcends touch or breath

smell or taste

we living with the memory

of something that sometimes

never occurred

 except in a dark and distant embrace

the night talk always meant to stay private

for love making made with words

 we dare not repeat by daylight h

ow do I make love to her

 let me imagine all the ways
