In those hours we are all there is.

There is nothing but your hands,
my mouth, our laughter
echoing around us.

It appears in my mind's eye so simple
that I ache.
How can it be both simple and complicated
at the same time?

We are the all --
in our passion,
in our quiet despair.
I know better than to ask for more.

But my love,
I want more.
