Touch Life
By Amanda Firefox


The power of touch is the power of life.

A baby shrills, breathes wet and silent at Mother’s breast.

A lover keens, cheek wet and silent at Mother’s breast.

A soul flickers, flashes from fleshy loss,

Breathes itself back into the whole

Becomes a single string

In the endless loom

Of stellar fabric.
