out of the window heat merged in white and there’s nothing I want the world to supply or take from me now I’ve opened my eyes
she locks the door and knows the way she’s moving and we both know this is all that’s keeping us from leaving as we go down to the floor
(now I see, as it gets dark and she’s away, I’m in the room, there’s nothing here of what was then except these facts I’ve placed in lines and keeping hold of what we’ve had; and her return and only that)
there’s nothing that I care for but resumption of these feelings and will throw the things I promised far from any stretch of reason
and let them be discovered by whoever wants to see them burning and broke open as I listen to her breathing
