DIALOGUE by FLORENCE KIPER FRANK

First Line: IF I SHOULD TOUCH YOU NOW
Last Line: SHE. YET I KNOW NOT WHERE WE ARE!
Subject(s): CONVERSATION;

@3He@1. If I should touch you now --

@3She@1. Flame would follow your hands,
Flame upon hair and brow
Curling in little strands.
My body is light with love
As a little sun-drunk tree.
My body is pierced through --

@3He@1. With me -- with me!

@3She@1. Say over again, again,
Anything wild and sweet.

@3He@1. Shall we make magic names,
Queer, to repeat?

@3She@1. Crumple this moment up,
Toss it against a star!

@3He@1. You are within my arms!

@3She@1. Yet I know not where we are!
