the altar

love
         overly violent excitement
sex, enter Xérès*
two welcoming overlapping
partners again
         real tingling
         nervous
         exactly repeating,
         sing
songs of nuptial gayness, sweetly
praising royal altars
         impressive social intimacy
         noble giving
marriage always readies robust
         idealists anticipating,
         grimly earnest
honeymoon's over newlyweds!
         exit yesterday's mirage
         of obliging noontime
sensuality, enhanced now
          such unbreakable adoration, love
         irreplaceably tender youth



         the altar
