It’s a snug dark room.
When our voices need to pause,
The outside’s breakers keep good time.
To imagine our intimacy in measures
Is far-fetched. We’re free form
At last. Our wretchedness is pushed
At more distant fogs. Senses locked
At actual joy.
In that snug dark room,
Our eyes down for the
Radiance of our need,
The cadences for our feeding.
Yes.

“We’re free form at last” — love this line, as well as the entire poem. Well done!

Sensual and liberating. Loved the word choice!

I like the contradictory note of “pause” when all the poem is about movement…

I love the title: Radiance in the dark. Sensual, yes
