What do you know
of a
great love?

Have you ever
loved
a woman
until milk leaks
from her,
as though she has
given
birth to love
itself?

Have you ever
tasted
a woman
until she believed
that
she could be
satisfied
only by consuming
the tundra
that
devoured her?

Have you ever
loved a
woman
so completely
that
the sound
of your voice in her ear
can cause
her body
to shatter
and explore
such an
intense pleasure
that
only weeping
could bring her
full release?
