What love is we may not know,
We, the bearers, the destroyers,
We, who live and die on eyes and breasts
And cleanse each other in broken nests,
We, who care, and yet refuse to bargain
With the ocean, as well as drops of rain;
Love and lovers are but the same,
And yet oblivious to each other's pain.
They come together in moonlit deserts,
One on the floor, the other in bed,
Looking into each other's souls-
Folding into the narrow cramped space.
Love remains quite, under her breasts
The lover breathes, and turns away.
Day breaks, as the night of truth fades away
Clocks return to work, with nothing to say.
