Before They’d Even Braved a Kiss

When we arrange our naked

limbs to face each other,

entertaining prospects

of an intimacy,

do you feel as strange as I do?

I’m sensing something very near

I do not understand at all.

I don’t think it’s fear.

If Eve and Adam had a fall,

it must, before they’d even

braved a kiss,

have been a sensory

descent like this.
