whispers

May I say quietly to you
as you lie in my arms
tall and satinned
long limbed
whilst the moonlight on the snowy lawn
lights my study
the books bear witness
to us
as queer women.
I run my fingertips over your spine
then theirs
may I say quietly to you
"Lie down"
that "Angel, the sacrifices hurt me
but the boons of love make me rejoice"
closing my eyes just breathing
less of you is more of you
We are inside looking out
I will say quietly to you
"thank you Chikka
for our beautiful contradiction"
