At College, Autumn, 1978
With nothing but a pair of striped socks on,
and the curtains of our dormitory windows drawn
back to let in the light of the morning sun,
she finished what her seductive words had begun---
bringing me to a lover's initiation
(contrary to my neighbors' stated declaration).
She showed me erotic love is an exploration
through sensual pleasure and delectation
to effect a wordless communication
through two squirming bodies to their souls.
This is the highest of intimacy's sweet goals.

That wondrous "exploration"
That wondrous "exploration" will remain a luminous light somewhere within you, throughout your life, wherever that may lead, and even new and more meaningful explorations will never diminish the meaning of that discovery.
Everything about this graceful and classic work is precious—the enlightened perspective from the vantage point of time and the impeccable lyricism that places it on its rightful pedestal.
Gorgeous.
Thank you. And your poetry,
Thank you. And your poetry, I fully realize, has helped me to get to the perspective in which I look more at what she gave me during our time together, and less of what she took when she ended that time.
