come, we are lovers who have taken our pleasures all through night we have taken what each can give and exchanged ****** fluids and we have lived a range of sensations and shown each other skills of the flesh
and now it is dawn come though we are lovers we must depart for day signals toil and roles we must play till night comes again and we may express each to the other bring out from within what light suppresses all day and what darkness excites all night
come then, we as lovers it is dawn and it is time for each to be in oneβs proper place till once again we meet in nightβs desired transgressions
poem based on Dawn Inside the Yoshiwara, No. 38 in One Hundred Views of Edo by Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando), Japanese, 1797-1858
