Making Love
Sometimes it’s like the slow, patient unraveling
of the obscure meaning of a passage in a sacred text,
and other times more like kids in their parents’ cars
doing donuts in an empty parking lot, simple noisy fun,
and afterwards, when everything has stopped spinning,
we have a floating feeling, as if our bodies have become
indistinguishable from the golden haze that surrounds them.
Howie Good‘s latest poetry collection, THE HORSES WERE BEAUTIFUL, is forthcoming from Grey Book Press.
