candles burn in the dark
leading the way...
a figure in front of me
another behind...
to the right and left they
stand in silence...
light from the candles
they hold, illuminate,
nude aberrations they are
to me as well as I am
to them as we pass...
on the bed you lay
your back to me I see
as I am laid down beside,
moving to face,
slippery sliding we are,
all those before and
all those after,
leaving us to wonder
if we come together.
