Two bodies in an apple apartment
Being a two-backed beast
The bed creaked
They did yoga on the floor instead
When the love was made
He did not leave
She did not cry
They were both perfectly satisfied
Glistening bodies fused together, linden and oak until the end of time
Their statue remained erected
In her desk drawer he left a letter and a list of reasons
One reminder for each day to be spent apart
Alone on the platform
He read her equivalent
And waited for the train
