Letter to the Female Ambassador

Oh yes we visit now and then
and seek each other with
a ferocity so deep
it strikes us both as odd,
I fear you too much to
call you a friend.

We won't breach the difference
between our bodies and minds.
Our intimacies are electrified
by the chemistry of difference.
Caution drives delicious
wedges between us.

Stranger, I will never know you.
Soon after we enter the world
through the same doors,
we move into separate houses.
