Afterglow


An immense chord
Struck with a final fury 
Like expanding thunder just behind
A  lightning strike.
The resounding euphoria of our bodies
Sustaining, sustaining this one note...

This rippling overtone
Of our interlude
Echoing still
Through the room
Into the night.

The amplitude
Of our passion
Still revberberating 
In our blood.

This animal plenitude
Of afterglow-
Overtones upon overtones
Echoing in our blood.

Our bodies all of the soul
That the five senses can perceive
Fuse as fire and its outline,
Riding overtones of overtones
Into the space
We have expanded to
In afterglow
