Two shadows
On a night alone
Save the
Beast in the bush
And the Light
Of the Moon.

Two shadows
Whose eyes -
Meeting in pleasure -
Realized there is
Possibility in romance -
And romance
In nature.

Twoshadows
Never asked to bind
Nor commit
Nor even love
Touched in a single
Spot -
As their bodies
Looked above
