FROST DAWN

               Frost covered dawn, silver lawn, her body in light the same; fair and pale in scintillate and catching of the sun.  On white cloud of down, bedcover’s spread, she straddled and brought upon , his body raised in upward sit, embraced in take of hold, arms low and tight to low back behind, his face’s fall, mouth warmth upon love raised and ready ends; one hand in balance and brace to his thigh, her other in play of his hair and cradle of head in stronger draw upon; beginning; the feel of his sound in sound to her feel; her answer, greater to—deep, slow rocking on—as he responded in his meet; higher rise, stronger fall, love soundings of one and other; sunlight warming; sparse freckle cast in spread of fair, copper hue in sunlight catch in view of adore in breath before again upon, strongly in their keeping.

               Love upon cloud in ethereal light.  Then tremor’s warmth, over and through, held breaking in the bond.
