Fay Loomis

Quee qwah, she says.
Unbidden, the magical sounds rise within her body,
up through her throat, and out  her lips.
They bring her pleasure.

Why?  What do they mean?
She doesn’t know.

She forces herself
to say the nonsensical sounds
over and over,
to squeeze meaning from them.
Mystery vanishes.
No pleasure, no sense.

She returns to her spontaneous mantra,
resounding once more with the cosmos.

Quee qwah, she says.
