Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Dichotomies

image by Nata Ibragimov
I love our dichotomies
Your dark bristled face
against my fair cheek
Tender lips
crashing together in a violent kiss 
Your hardness
against my soft
And when our bodies part
sizzling droplets of sweat
become cool puddles on our skin 
tiny swells
under the turning fan blades.

Puddle, 1952, M. C. Escher
