On Sundays...

...she gives herself
sweetness of love and touch
from tedium of passing days, a pause
from shadows that came and stayed a while;

she loves

for its blinding beauty, in waters
that must flow--for the haunting urge
skin upon skin, she tastes lips and feels
lost in giving and taking, to moan her song
at one with walls that seem to tremble too;

in twined limbs and words that linger
so long as racing pulses throb; and as deeply
for it is Sunday,

she is an altar
