ONCE UPON A SHALLOW NIGHT

Folder: 
JOURNAL#30

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...........
