BODY OF LONELINESS

She entered my foot with her foot

and she entered my waist with her snow.

She entered my heart saying,

“Yes,that's right.”

And so the Body of Loneliness

was covered from without,

and from within

the Body of Loneliness was embraced.

Now every time I try to draw a breath

she whispers to my breathlessness,

“Yes,my love, that's right, that's right.”
