The Dance of Intimacy

She beckons me
with her right hand,
and pushes me away
with her left.

She wants me
to be there
beside her
while leaving her
free a little:
going away
occasionally,
not too far!

I must go away
the moment this desire
is developed,
and I'm in its way!

And then come back
again and again
but not so soon
to feed the frenzy
of not wanting
no more.
