Many Happy Returns R Raven

This missive is dedicated to R Raven. Here's something I wrote which he likes:

I want to climb into bed with every beatnik I've ever known
and fetally curl
in the dark crooks of their old arms and pelvic girdles
while they spoon around me

protective
sane
but too wise
and unsure of how to proceed
to disturb that breath-held stillness
we've created

I promise to lay
in rapt, erotic silence
and listen to your broken heart moan
the story of your love and isolation
outside the window

I'll turn to face you
when we're ready
I'll pull you in, out of the light
to console you with something darker and older
than both of us put together

because this reminds us that we are human
and I am woman
and we are safe
as long as there are cynics and poets in the world
