The Alphabet of Nature (A Poem A Day #9)

By AlmightyMelon | AlmightyMelon | 12 Mar 2020


you bring me water 
silent yet articulate 
then you shy away 
implicitly forbidden 
and the premise is unbroken 
unaddressed but implied 
expressionless understanding 
sneaks up on 
inferred taboo 
you make a retraction 
a clenched invoice 
tight-lipped about it 
ubiquitously accepted 
tacit communication 
a curtain drawn over 
in phrases not yet stated 
without acknowledgement 
intimate restraint 
purely carnal 
mute regret
