Curtains........

Hiding;
hiding behind an arras,
a dissembling of faith,
I sensed them; those
daughters of flesh,
them bodies of love ....
Supine,stretched
on the rack of youth,
they,
cavorting, gifting
a life-time ,a fullness away.......
And ,manifest ,now,
I feel one shadow,
one panting heart
twice broken,shaft-pierced,
a cloven  mirror, reflecting ,
all at once,
a waning  moon,
a fading me ........
