Danger

I spent all night with you 
In our bed, tracing lines on your skin,
my fingers like figure skaters.
And you told me:
"The world is an enticing danger."
And I kept wondering 
How that could be 

when I woke in your arms.

Silêncio :
contemplar a neve
até confundir-se com ela

I

I will love you
not starting with your lips
or your skin or
your cock or
your bones or
your eyes or
your mouth...
I will love madly first,
your naked soul.
