That Night Will Embrace Us
The grain of the wood,
fastened and softened
by time and breath;
these pebbles so smooth,
coated and left with
the silk of dead waves -
and you, all of you, your flesh
so awake to my longing, my touch,
are more beautiful yet
than all these reminders
that night will embrace us
and change us in time.
