Ladies Day For Talking Blue Midnight

We leap into age
still just practicing our faith
since we have not
known how long
the cruel days of winter
may keep us warm
with feelings of God-like
proportion
praying again for the
veins in our hands to be
running our good blood
letting us be not sure
that we care about being
the only couple left on
earth
hidden deep in catacombs
of each other
waiting for the
breakneck speed of
a black, satin stallion
to gallop into an
easy dawn and eternal
