In the Woods

In the Woods

We found each other in the woods.

His touch did not alarm me.

It provoked a soothing sensation 

as if I had been slightly salted.

Our cars were still running.  There were cats

everywhere, wild cats on the prowl 

wanting to mate.  We got out of the cars

to talk but soon enough we were touching

each other.  The silence was thick.

We allowed nature to watch.
