-: This Much & More: -
If my lover were a comet
Hung in air,
I would braid my leaping body
In his hair.
Yea, if they buried him ten leagues
Beneath the loam,
My fingers would learn to dig
And I'd plunge home!
. . . . . . . . .
-: Finis: -
For you? For me?
Why then the striking hour,
The wind among the curtains, and the tread
Of some late gardener pulling at the flower
They'll lay between our hearts when we are dead.
