Erected postures amid vertical furnishings
ceremonial figures dressed in yesterday's skin.
Dressed in satin
Dressing new skin
The anticipatory capacity of the veiling of a curtain
the veils that anticipate the skin
how much is concealed and how much is disclosed
when skin confronts new skin
other skin, new bodies

The soft caress of satin
that over the skin rests, strokes with tenderness
The delicate act of touching. The touch that consumes the intimacy of a body with no mistrust
Bodies that contain the capacity of a curtain
the controsion of the pleats of skin that dress us

Satin that reveals the intimacy of yesterday's skin
she presents herself naked to be seen, to be consumed
In this new ceremony that resists being misconstrued for yesterday's ceremony

The posture is no longer erect. The curtains distended
the skin restful yet aware that it is being seen
it accommodates the lecherous gaze of he who threatens behind the satin veil
the gaze that insists in hiding anticipates
the excessive desire of a skin.
The distance between two bodies
the gaze that drags desire, and imprints against another skin
The bitter impression of looking.
To have been seen

 

 

What is left after the gaze
