Small Dark Lips

.

.....For a moment Pahn
......is sitting in the row
......of seats at the top
.....of a small theatre .....though
.....the seats face
................................the projection room
..........................................and not the screen

and the girl .....who
is Daphnis’ love
is by his side
....................................and Pahn is comfortable
.........as she becomes
...................................representative
.............of other small
........dark
........................young women
.................................like Ahnkahmna

They stand by the entrance...............
.........Pahn thinking
.................he has liberty
............to kiss .........and he leans
...............down to the changed young woman’s mouth

...................meeting loosely her lips

.................making
.........a cavern ........where their tongues
........search
......lonely

about...........
