Sonnet time for March

'if my appeal be answered'


I do not know if there will sometime be
another way - a diff'rent sight and touch,
an altered sound, a new approach, a shared
experience of learning, though there's much
we would already know - the basics, paired
desires and mutual intentions, free
of history and tales of sorrow, which
can color those who know each other well.
The newness is excitement, unexpect-
ed flesh and fresh expression as a spell
of temporary thrall makes us connect
through love's ingrained affections, as we twitch
and shake and quake in our ecstatic throes,
the secret splendor our infection knows.
