Once upon a shallow night
I sinned an empty sin
for a moment I stood
at the blind side
and bent in
mentally
to touch that of
the forbidden
my courage mounted
and curiosity stirred
for an instant I was
of another body's breath
I was struck by the strangeness
of my surroundings
imminent would be my return
guilt played no part
in the flurry of exchange
my self in the matter was
almost secondary
a detached observer
almost
was I
eager in the flittering end
to get away
so I could
what else but
set down and write this
to try to better understand
the murk that I allowed myself
to swim in...........
