Is being mature being amazed
when nudity isn't disarming
and enabling to tenderness

only, a body, a human being
neither eyes, scared, asking
or embracing, and also

is being mature following
your own way, responding
to each other's needs

not like children, wishing
to be safe in one another
not limitless enthusiastic

inexhaustible and unconditional
but together, working, working
together, bearing out of love

the burdens and the suffering
of life, of you and me
together, not for anyone else

not leaving it for anyone else
wishing to do that
for yourself
