Whose body has opened

Night after night

Harbouring loneliness,

Cancelling the doubts

Of which I am made,

Night after night

Taste me upon you.

Night and then again night,

And in your movements

The bed’s shape is forgotten.

Sinking through it I follow,

Adrift on the taste of you.

I cannot speak clearly about you.

Night and then again night,

And after a night beside you

Night without you is barren.

I have never discovered

What alchemy makes

Your flesh different from the rest,

Nor why all that’s commonplace

Comes to seem unique,
