for focusing fertile thoughts
and pent-up feelings

My passion regenerates
articulates
seeks to accurately label
read and process,
attend to your best nonviolent communications,
nonverbally hummed flirtations
of this
our potentially significant

These compassion communications,
positions,
postures,
poses,
plays,
prances and dances and trances,

when philo-sophias self-righteously
uprightly leave us behind
