Five Erotic Fragments

   - after Sappho

I

The sound of silk
sliding softly
off your skin:
simply sublime
alliteration.

II

Rest your legs
on my shoulders,
Love;
let us begin
a deep
conversation.

III

The pressure
of your hands
on the small
of my back
urges me
to speak faster.

IV

Let me
kiss you
until we
dissolve
and blend.

V

Where do you go
in that moment
when you disappear?
