After Words
After the passion,
the nocturnal diving
of sea-creatures
leaves echoes and splashes.
I go into the kitchen;
it is somewhere in the night.
in a dim pool of light.
After sex, the air-conditioner
hums louder,
or is it the fridge de-frosting,
or is it the song of a man in love
with the wordless?
Later, side by side,
fingers lay down
to listen to hands.
