The Ache Of Marriage
Read 'The Ache Of Marriage' by 'Denise Levertov' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
The ache of marriage:
thigh and tongue, beloved,
are heavy with it,
it throbs in the teeth
We look for communion
and are turned away, beloved,
each and each
It is leviathan and we
in its belly
looking for joy, some joy
not to be known outside it
two by two in the ark of
the ache of it.
