    mutual embrace

    Mutual embrace severed
    Out of politeness, leg
    Removed from leg we pulled
    Apart desiring separation
    In the after glow.


    An affair just begun
    Is like a morning
    After a night of rain, the
    Sun looking through gaps in the
    Strange ceremony of white and pink cloud,
    Serene, reassuring and secretive.


    It was not yet love,
    Just lovemaking.
    A curious investigation
    Of a stranger, hardly known,
    Of unspecified views, who
    Has not yet freely spoken.


    The routine had long ago been fixed,
    Inconsequential phrases over coffee,
    Denying breakfast, smiles
    Without intent. Holding hands
    At the door, a kiss,
    And then the regretful goodbye.
    A voice remembered as a sigh
    A movement as pleasure,
    No other memory but the callow scent
    Of brief uncertain intimacy.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
