Skin

Skin, 
light from the window of west
God give patience,
for what I endure
her sex is the window
light, that pours 
for and from
the light of south, her naked
Sworn,
purity in dress
sweet, curious, 
ethereal
caress  - The light, 
how it turns
Shadows
Embrace 
The deep and curve
The intricate space
Light 
in the valley, Shadow, 
mid-tones
grasping the skin
Hiding the bones
of you
Where you began
Inside from out
Outside, in
- We are but machines
spirit, contains
Organic in nature
From west window pane
