Fingerprints

All night the candle creates & uncreates our bodies here a breast flickers into life there a hand vanishing out of sight thigh upon thing here a cry there a sigh forming & unforming our love making half shadow...half light the hot wax taking our fingerprints as if we were suspects stolen time we peel off our fingerprints I wear yours you wear mine my fingerpritns found all over your body (guess I am guilty) |I press my fingerprint into yours so that the whorls combine joined in the seal of our desire we both now one & the other lost in our flickering laughter.
