Ajarn Wu Hsih writes



"nude"

holding onto a web
woven into the edges
of rainbow quilt,


i wander in the rhapsody
of the unstruck sound,
led by eternal longing
for the sweet lotus scent
emanating from her navel
bedecked with jewel.


with each beat, i pause
and i sip from the vine the wine
pressed by three thousand maidens
moaning in unison, "aaaaaaaah!"
but my beloved's moan i yearn.
in the dawn, upon awakening
from deep slumber
after dreaming of her and i
being not two but whole, nude.


 Auguste Rodin ‘The Kiss’, 1901–4
August Rodin,  Le Baiser ("The Kiss")
