We Are Sensuous Because We Live Poem by Patti Masterman

We Are Sensuous Because We Live



We are sensuous because we live:
In mute islands of flesh, we breathe
Through silk-screened lungs-
The storied touch, all forgives.

Young, we nuzzle seamless ports
For the milk of our thriving;
Touch tells us what we need to know,
Of this body we live
And have our imbibing.

Broken, the raw surface of love;
The presence breathes,
We gently heave,
Till we are one.
