We are chapels of infinity-
closets of light and dark
where earth and sky
become creatures for one another.
There are velvet movements
in the dark radiance
of this dance room.
A coiling sensuality
of loves need to be manifest.
There are panther paws here
that with a bright ecstasy
grasp the flesh of time.
What we do to each other
in this shadow-play
becomes the light
of prayer .
