The Dream's Elastic Tenses

All the Light That Welcomes the Body

The Irresistible Anticipation of Arousal

With Only the Astonishment of Shadows 

The Guesswork of Uncertainty

A Sudden Voluptuous Luminosity

Delirious as Silk

When a Whisper Lingers

All the Light Passing Through Your Smile

Persistent as Desire
