That heavenly touch (prayer group) ...

Now in a circle, singing hymns – linked,
                                                                   palm on 
                                                          sweaty palm – I think:

                                     Every man has 
                  touched his lowly
hanging parts, with either hand;
every woman has pressed upon her
                 softly tender, pink and hidden lips.

                                        Now in a circle, 
              singing hymns – linked,
                                                       palm on sweaty palm – I think:

God bless hers/and ours, those private
    places of bliss, 
                   that contraband;
                                             God bless 
these hours ordained, wherein
                               her moist palm 
                                                   grazes my 
                                                                     fingertips.
