Our uncarnal conversations

                                     at

                    first,

flirtatious interchanges,

encouraging words –

was there anything we did not discuss

both silly and serious

and didn't we laugh?

                          Oh,

               oh,

lord - 

your wicked witticisms floored

and didn't I adore

your attentions, your cheeky contraventions

and all your        words?        Your words.

Your words...

...

              ...

                              ... leading me

by hand

to where we 

could

                      become -

intimate...          one...           frolicsome.
