It's been so long
since it was easy to connect
since it was fun to connect
The fear isn't AIDS
Intimacy is a 'nother kind of death
It's raw emotions
It's climax and tears
and hopes and fears
The illusion of peace
and the certainty of never being the same again.
Spinning a web to tie down the moment
Breaking free to be in the moment.
One small contact point is all it takes
to ground my self and soar.
-- Larry Wolf (1995)
