Glossy Desire

--"Alone, I cannot be"
			E. Dickinson, 1861



At least, you came --
Naked, ready --against the Beggar --
A dream explores -- Little
By little, all night along!

Alone, I cannot be -- nor both of us --
Never --to Solitude, to Mortality --
Not alone --again --
To the Cameos --heavy, clean, and pure --
Both of us
Closeness! 
Forever!
Unknown!
We never die!
