In those brief moments of ecstasy
when we are connected part to part
with the intimacy of another mortal being,
there is a special moment of respite
from the honest truth that we will die
and that those most intimate parts
connected so tenderly part to part
will be connected in the air or live
together infinitesimally in the parts
of another being who is also seeking these
moments of tender ecstatic intimate respite.
