THE OTHER SIDE
(1989)

Come to bed and for a start
Lie with your back to me
And let me take the helm
I know your back almost by heart
Let it comfort me, belly and breast
While I bathe my face in your hair
And learn the other side, the rest of this
The gold coin of my realm

I have sat too long at my own trial
So lie with your back to me
And let me explore where
And how and when and why
The varied source of pleasures lie
I have loved too long to practice guile

Love creates explorers, dreamers, fools
Awake, and find my Newfoundland
Lies yet undiscovered
All is as it was
And my idle hands
Lie yet at my side

No school can teach
As love does
