Put your hand
In mine,
To pull me
Not apart,
But to please me,
Pleasure me and perfect me
Into a useful unity-
A balanced blend
Of better beings
Than before-
Less bestial, base
And bitter
Than the twisted tribes
Who’ve crossed my path
In darker days of late
With their loins
Full of lust and longing…
Let this smile
Sink through skin,
Seep under substance
And build in us
The ability
To laugh
Through the long hours
And bask in the benefits
Of the beauty
We’ve made within…
