How could this be --
that at my age
I've become a virgin
& write love poems
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffor the very first time?
How could this be?
that now I love like a waterfall:
giving everything away
wwwwwwwwwiiiwwwwithout being diminished ...
How could this be?
that when the Great World
wants to give one of its secrets
it hides all else
mmmmmmmmmmaking even heaven & earth disappear...
Since this is the case...
How could this be --
that you love me back
and hold me
like the banks of a river
and yet --
ssssssssssstill sleep
wwwwwwwwwwwith another?
