Close

you can get pretty close
     to a lover
but this is even closer

you can touch pleasure
     the inner heat
but this is much bigger

first it tangles you up
     in its trip-net
then you're gently unpicked
    
oh, it's so elegant, so refined
     that you'll know it
only by its closeness and its pleasure
                     and its gentle unravelling
