There are men with ugly feet. But beautiful, overall. My dancers.
My pride.
Energy gathers at their toes. I think of their tendons when I pray.

Lifting and lowering my pillow like a wave....
I want to dream your dreams.
All night, I observe your sleeping face, studying it closely....

like waves.
We're deep
