we decided to undress

Each garment  
was dropped carelessly to the floor
as we revealed the secrets of our flesh

It took some time
Our movements not being as nimble
Our limbs not as lithe 
as before

Stiff, feeble fingers 
fumbled adolescently 
with buttons, belts and clasps. 
Until we stood before one another

Shrivelled
Sagging 
Slack

and

In the buzzing glow of the electric fire. 

Beautiful

	4. Ermine Moths

Before I became what I am I could 
only crawl, tell brightness from darkness, taste
odours. Born in this half light so we would 
not be food we hid ourselves behind placed

webs, made all darker while our mouths ate all
sweet succulence, before each of us spun
a hardness for ourselves where we grew tall
noses, delicate wings to reach the sun.

Abandon these bare stems our younger selves 
emptied all the juice out into us. World
is now greenish blue. My long nostrils
tell me she's not distant. Her taste unfurls.

Age alters our senses remaking all.
I sense outside this entwined, closed in tall.
