THE LOVERS
Their bodies a mark
of everything beautiful,
their bodies a bright light in
even more light. Body of light,
body of love. I speak to no one
about what it means to love –
all that is circumstance. I make
meaning out of love; I turn it
over in my mind like a brilliance.
When I look back, years from now,
all this will be aglow.
