romps with me on the grass, remove
brake your throat,
not want words, not music,
or rhymes, I do not
customs or speeches, or even better,
I just want the quiet, the murmur
evening.
remember how we lay together some
transparent summer morning,
how to lay your head on my hip
and you turned to me gently,
and separate them the shirt off my chest, and
tongue sank into my heart
naked
and I stretched out to touch my beard,
and stretched out to embrace you my feet.
Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself" (1819-1892)
