buttoned down eyes
struggle to open,
sunbeams poured into the bowl
milk a cold half empty vessel,
we have drained each other,
scuffed table thread scratches
did we need electric lights
or the cigarettes not lit,
crackle of another star dying,
limbs bare
outside sirens call,
no matter what others think
there where wolves in the wood
warning voices raise to the moon,
yet as frail apes
we still smoked,
coffee forgotten got drunk
mornings so hard to translate,
she wished to the height of man
and i looked down,
clutter of the everyday pushed
aside as we made love again,
and know that nature will save
us
