Day and night
Embrace a world together,
But never each other.
All that one will ever see
Is a glimpse of fleeing back
That sets desire penetrating both skies.
They plan together without speaking, without seeing,
To crush the world cradled between them
So that they might mesh together,
End this unwilling chase
And satisfy eons of longing;
But when that happens
They look upon each other,
Only to find that they are the same;
There is no more night
No more day.
The chase is over,
But the longing remains.
