Arm Wrestling

 Arm Wrestling
(or wait* lifting, maybe)

Elbows down, palms 
gently, fitting together.
Wait until I say go.

Meanwhile, facing each 
other, eyes closed or not.
Wait. Wait. Wait, 
until I say go.

there it is ... Wait. Wait. 
the tingling radiance,

Ah … Go! Go! Go!

This wrestling a rouse,
a hug without hugging.
Smile. Radiate joy.
Everyone wins.

Asterisk for the listeners

*wait is spelled w a i t.
