What my hand follows on your body
Is the line. A stream of love
of heat, of light, what my
eye lascivious
licks
over, watching
far snow-dappled Uintah mountains
is that stream.
Of power. what my
hand curves over, following the line,
"hip" and "groin"
Where "I"
follow by hand and eye
the swimming limit of your body.

("Beneath my Hand and Eye the Distant Hills, Your Body")

~ Gary Snyder
