The moon of night ascended,
And close behind, you entered…
I know of no other woman kindred
So utterly sweet as your pattern.
A night of dreams embodied,
Of passion unearthly and deep—
Completely, fully naked body,
You stood revealed before me.
The stars tapped against the heavens
Like hail upon black wet glass,
Forever etching into memory even
The sweet warmth of that fleshless
A night of dreams embodied,
Of passion unearthly and deep—
Completely, fully naked body
You stood revealed before me.
