4.19.2021

we suddenly collapsed, intoxicated, gratified, both sinners

I shed my clothes in the lush air 
to bathe naked in the spring water, 
but the quiet night seduced me 
into telling it my gloomy story. 
 
The water's cool shimmering waves 
moaned and lustily surrounded me, 
urged with soft crystal hands 
my body and spirit into themselves. 
 
A far breeze hurried in, 
poured a lapful of flowers in my hair, 
breathed into my mouth Eurasian mint's 
pungent, heart-clinging scent. 
 
Silent and soaring, I closed my eyes, 
pressed my body against the soft young rushes, 
and like a woman folded into her lover's arms 
gave myself to the flowing waters. 
 
Aroused, parched, and fevered, the water's lips 
rippled trembling kisses on my thighs, 
and we suddenly collapsed, intoxicated, gratified, 
both sinners, my body and the spring's soul.
