EACH TO THE OTHER ARE

LADY frown not
at this absence

of the sun

that hath so far
shone down

on everything
we've  done.

For we are all
the sun we need.

See! I shine on you!
You...you shine on me!

Nay...weep not this
mere absence

of a sun

for we
a star

each to
the other are

& all of summer
& all its glorious loving

ripens succulently
like a glistening berry

in who
we each to the other

...are.

The merest kiss
...a star!

*

Our first love was made glorious by this sun of Stratford  and now our first tentative meeting after that threatens not to be a sunny day!

Alas! But what care I!

I doth love thee
whatever the weather

if thou but
shine on me

shine

on

me.
