“Something like my soul slips from me
and goes to you,
without choice or question,
and wraps itself around you
all night, like the breath
of the moon
And why
I carry the thought
of you as constant
as any sun
in my heart.”
— Gina Zeitlin, from “Sun and Moon,” Intimate Kisses: The Poetry of Sexual Pleasure, ed. Wendy Maltz (New World Library, 2001)
