The Telling...

[Greco]

Grace

I seek no improvement
only translation
of your Beauty

so thousands can see
what I have tasted today.

I confess to have been
sacrilegious

in my attempt to glean
your Radiance

to continue the "work" of art

you already are...

In your culture

you, a woman who has walked
this Earth for
over sixty years
is thought to be
the other side
of done.

But in mine

we Know the Secret

that you hold in your
body

the knowledge
of all the pain
of loss

And the sensuality
of joy, love, pleasure,
and passion.

So, as I assist you off
of the model stand
and take you into
my arms

I know that you know
where we will go and
what ecstasy we will
move in rhythm to

And there is no regret
when I plunge into you

your body has the strength
of lifetimes, and the memory
of this thrusting you, and only
you could know what I feel

as I rise and plunge
deeper still you are not afraid
to look deeply into my eyes
as you clutch me to you
roughly as well

we rough ride together

through our lives gone before
finally arrive at our
Present

gleaming with sweat
breathless at this travel

You know the secret of distance.
