let me, long-haired,
hunt the buck naked
in the frigid
or, bald, forgiving
all the predators
the sun
let me, green-eyed
discover clothes
in the desert
or, earless
scream bluejay sweet
the moon
let me, wet-lipped
write the eagle
on the mountain
or, soft footed
step through the play
to the river’s bend
long-haired, green-eyed, wet-lipped
and with love
naked
i dance your name
into the snow
my very
my very and
my only
love – forgive me
