Climbing the Tree
(cropped)
The sculpted couple embrace, each standing on the left leg while hugging the other with the right leg. She entrusts some of her weight to his strong stone hand and thigh; he entrusts some of his seed to her willing womb.
They have held their pose for something like a thousand years. They ignore the admiring gaze of pilgrims who ponder the mysteries of life and love and whether flesh and sinew can hold that pose for anything like a thousand milliseconds.
Climbing the Tree
She climbs his body
as a tree that burns with lust
(and lower-back pain).

I actually did laugh out loud because I was thinking (before I got to the poem) “Hell, I held that pose forever once too—because my back locked up.” A true Curmudgeonly Classic.

With a little wiggle room for the possibility that the models may have been both yogis and world-class gymnasts, I’d say dreams.
