1. Dusk
Darkness is the apparatus
and my arms a cradle to assuage
your trembling heart
2. Midnight
For every star out
will you grant a kiss
to satisfy this pagan desire?
3. Dawn
Night the veil,
like thieves we make love
naked under dimming darkness
Epilogue
A sincere request:
to awaken by the touch of you
as intimate the first rays
of the morning sun
