I envy the cool darkness, now we're apart And the warmth which wrapped your body: Cocooned by your breathing, The secret shadows and angles Which gradually changed every hour Like a dark sundial recording All your limbs tiniest convolutions.
I know there was a sort of Kabalistic synchronicity Some algebraic function And if only I'd studied more; If only I'd applied myself better I wouldn't have gotten all the equations wrong Lost the notes, failed the exam.
I remember those once acute angles How they fit so perfectly my body's contours Our seams vanished together, smooth soldered In the same molten dream; mouth to mouth Torso upon torso, moving wave unfurled Water of twin oceans, mingled- Now it's only the moonlight that burns.
