Entwined (a Maverick post)

He Comes (CAI 2017)

Tonight I will let him come to me, but carefully.

He approaches, stealth personified,
already behind me, already inside
he steps lightly into my density
engages me, he drives
me like a Ferrari
despite my Volvo frame
his flame enlivens grace
embodied
so I feel how that feels
like it’s mine.
