"moist..." again

[Alison Murie]

A slightly different take on a moist female.  Sappho describes her
sensations on coming face to face with the object of her desire:
                                        ......"elusive
little flames play over the skin & smolder
under.  Eyes go blind in a flash; and ears hear
          only their own din.
Head to toe I'm cold with a sudden moisture;".........*

Sex is here again, but this is more like the cold sweat of aftershock.
