in a dream
i can make
your hips
rotate
and your lips
whistle incognito kisses
through the night
in a poem i can
make others believe
it will happen
that i can cause
your puppy libido
to jump through
the romantic rings
of admiration
or i can
draw graphic adventures
in the earthy excitement
of your pleasure garden
i can be tender
on the phone
and witty in context
of e-mail missives
i can be so much
and never know
what affections exists
in your muted forays into
swiveling conversations
