two hands
By Daniel Wilcox
By Daniel Wilcox
two hands
after a fine guitarist’s set,
hidden music
muses
through the spheres
out in the audience
hidden in the middle, two arms
under a table with two full glasses
ignored
two hands commune
caressing
as if the one
and only touching
on earth,
before the fall
for an hour and a half
embodied, that
warm embrace of their fingers
and palms
close slow dancing
no palming
but sheer magic
one body, one spirit
