You touched me last night
Like Sikh hands on apricots
Your eyes slave white
Journeyed through the voil
For a moon that was average.
I never touched you last night
Like English hands on apples
My eyes slave wet
Journeyed through yours
But the moon had passed.
We touched again today
Like surgeons on my Father
Our eyes now imperial
Journeyed through the voil
For a sunrise that blinded us.
