Inside You

by Michael Shorb
(07/16/08)

even the shadow
of a movement
deeper creates
waves of joy

a full thrust
charges the gates
with exploding colors

over and over
we rock back and forth
building this
deep gut fire
slow in our loins

climbing and building speed
moaning in that delicious
helplessness approaching
musty quicksilver's edge
only to
fall back
to earth

both spent and invested.
