When you take off your
shoes for him, the meaning of
the whole universe
becomes justified as is,
and all questions are answered.

Author's Notes/Comments:
Decades ago, when I was in college, the Beloved's removal of her shoes signified, to her companion, that she was receptive to love, to desire, to being courted. That moment, which most of us waited for a very long time, was always intensely erotic, and seemed to sum up the existence of reality in that single gesture.
