I remember the paper-thin red dress that clung to your body like a second skin as you danced. How you would dance for me! You danced through fields and around massive oak trees. You danced through streams, danced splashing through  puddles. You danced in the snow, and across your livingroom. You danced through our lovemaking, enveloping me with your grace and wildness.

I hang up and crawl onto the windowsill, watching the sun beginning to rise way out over the city and lake.  Up from the street below, I catch a hint of gasoline and perfume.  Like sex with an angel and wild, haunting music.  Like catching the divine.
