Eros:

the fold in the belly;
love
(the verb)
bouncy in its parentheses;
the giant squid’s foot-wide eye
mostly veiled from us,
and the idea of its eighth arm
twining with another;
the thrill of restraint
against desire,
the anonymity of the caretaker
who will anoint us
in our final bath;
the blindfold
and the lightness of the hand
on the small of our back.
