Having Kittens About Having Babies III

They get to make their loves the focal point

of Real Life: last names, trust funds, architecture,

reify them; while we are, they conjecture,

erotic frissons, birds of passage, quaint

embellishments in margins. Self-restraint

is failing me, and you, dear heart, suspect your

old trout’s about to launch into a lecture.

Give me a serious long kiss. I ain’t.

Give me another one. Look what we’re making,

besides love (that has a name to speak).

Its very openness keeps it from harm, or

perhaps it wears our live-nerved skin as armor,

out in the world arranging mountains, naked

as some dream of Cousin William Blake.
