Sapphic
Holding Adonis
In another place and another lifetime,
gazing into eyes that gazed back with passion.
Kissing you, loving you and how you touched me.
Summer’s moon watched us.
Are you in the world, my sweet lover? Are you?
Have you gone the way of the gods before you?
Blessed was I to hold you so closely. I was
holding Adonis.
