Sex, so physically natural
The penultimate biological imperative
So often culturally unnatural,
All that foreplay
Words to soothe or entice,
Like gaudy birds showing colors
To seduce, influence choice
To complete the connection
Mechanics and positions aside,
When one plus one equals one
Briefly.

Not much different than when
We are one on one with a trout
In a freshet,
Nurturing and encouraging
its struggle upstream
to hand or net,
Only to let it go lovingly
To catch it again.

Allowing for recovery time
For both parties.
