“Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together
in their sleep,
Close as two pages
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.
Each knows all
the other knows,
learned by heart
from head to toes.”

The spangled sea below wants me to fall.
It is hard as diamonds; it wants to destroy us all.”
