When we get naked,

I gaze into your eyes and

see stars, your forebears;

they fused your body's atoms:

your beauty---their legacy.

Author's Notes/Comments:

In the first line, I used a phrase current on campus in the late Seventies, and likely spoken countless times each day.

I believe this is one of the best poems I have written. I wish I had told him this in 1978, before he returned to Japan
