SCREEN DESIRE

how can you miss the obvious ... the purity of their youth of their desire ... see how the angular becomes round ... how they swell when they're near each other ... slow them down and turn off the sound and pay attention to the details ... you might notice first their affection honor respect ... second if not first you must admire the rhythm of their agreement ... they go north together and south ... they rise to midnight and fall into noon ... they flow like honeyed water they hold like jellied wine ... these are the moments of their perfection ... they'll last beyond the end of time ... there's a process going on here ... it has a plot but it prompts a pause for reflection as the light runs down her back ... she's been put the question repeatedly ... at first she frowns ... then she smiles so sweetly ... the answer's come so swiftly ... if she can only hold it as slowly the truth will never leave ... then she recalls she's not alone ... she swallows the breath of the other ... she draws her in ... she holds her close ... she has no thought for another ...but it's the focus by which we lose them ... neither by their intensity nor the fading time
