In this butterfly embrace

(Grand Plan divined -
an immaculate design unveiled)

No knowing is bestowed
by this: brush
of lips on brow; the silken kiss

of thighs
(and yet)

beneath, beside, between
the smiles and sighs
and sweat and skin

Heartbeat of breath
: the delicate unfolding

I recognise, in sweet surprise
God’s touch, so subtly satisfied.
