Collaborative Text 10.28.07

Bring your hands here,
a rendezvous with sun
& spine, your fingers mingling as buttons & holes.

We include our impulses in everything,
tucking into envelopes & contracts
glued to our heart.

When you said you had
a "bitchin" time, your tongue
persevered longer than our
joints, which moved in solar & lunar opposition.

This is what we call
empowerment, age seeping
into solar plexus, hands,
spine, joints, then heart.
