following her poet's lead
divests herself of distractions
her mind and body naked
like ancient painted saints
and unclad angels from on high
she frees herself for word and deed
she takes his pen in hand
and writes deep within her pages
ecstatic lines of poetry
her calligraphy becoming moans
torn from his quivering body
by her cursive emphatic strokes
at last poet and poetess
having brought forth a new work of art
embrace in their shared creation
