STEPS OF LOVE
George Bowering

Coming out of your clothes you were
girl in the night
............................naked in a strange house
............................receptive to a question
............................of what I would do

you were for the first time
uncovered to me
your two white shoulders thin in the air
hunched & shining there
& breast turning to me
cool skin of unimagined girl suspended in shadow
& hands now bashful
searching for a place to rest behind you

.........................You listened to my silence

.........................you gathered something in your mind

.........................and you danced on your bare feet

.........................with your long arms to meet me
