“A good-bye—how soon?—in every moment
that molders the heartbeat; a tangle
of shared flesh, unraveling; such an otherness
that impulse now, and how much is left?
A clock that cracks the walls
of desire, that corrodes
the body’s gift, sours the green wine;
a damp that soaks into the ruins.”

“Terrible fluttering
of eyelids sunk in the blackness:
something unknown, from the high
perch of its silent condition,
is watching us.”
