First, there were hands between my loneliness and me,
Then suddenly doors swung wide open behind them.
Then your face, then your eyes, your lips,
Then everything came out all at once.

A fearlessness began to move around us,
You took out your shame and hung it on the wall,
I laid down the rules on the table,
And that’s how everything began, at first.
