amplexus23

Spinning around, out of control
she crashes to the ground, scraping
dirt pushes under skin, becomes warm from the contact

up again, now running
breast heaving, toungue dry
temples throbbing from the push of blood up

then a gasp, and AWAKE! light streaming onto the pillow
causing stars insinde her eyes
blinking back the rush she fills her lungs and


sobs. slowly again to sleep
and the dream...


----------------

At this he bar'd his breast, and show'd his scars,
As of a furrow'd field, well plow'd with wars;
Be this a solemn feast, the priest had said;
Be, with each mistress, unemploy'd each maid.
With skins of beasts your tender limbs enclose,
And with an ivy-crown adorn your brows,
The leafy Thyrsus high in triumph bear,
And give your locks to wanton in the air.
Yet still Amplexus perverse remains,
And Bacchus still, and all his rites, disdains
