breath ghazal 20:


its a long story     (take yr time)     tell
tale delights   delicious       de

lays it on the line     of a new thought
desire propels     but how far       aaahh

room for lots of telling details
traces of desired body to read

& listen for    your  speech    aah      the story
unravelling     tongues in our mouths   sighs

breath on our faces          ('lovers'  signs
a kind of closure       pleasure binds
