one day i see you naked bathing in the river
we are lovers and i could have called your name
and then i go naked myself and then we bathe together
and make the most of the youth of time
i hide behind the leaves
to feast on your beauty
more beautiful when untouched
more sublime when unconsumed
it is the distance
something beyond the reach of my hands
beyond my grasp
completes us
