DAYS WITHOUT YOU
Before you even feel it.
Before you see the burns.
Before the serious night enters
And hides in the corner of the room
Waiting.
Before the questions start.
Before the walls turn red.
Before the dreams come
Carrying their cloth bags, damp
With slender breathing.
Before these things,
Language will stop.
I will hold you
With my eyes, as if
All other instruments
Were broken and we
Had no right to come here.
The thickness of our bodies
Shall be of great comfort
Then. The heavy verbs
Of our movements shall
Appear as dance.
Then, I will kiss you
With my lips full upon
All that is your reason.
And we will will be transported
Together. And they who chance to see
These things will be unable to remember
Our names or if we stood
Before them. For them,
And their time, we shall
Have only this recognition : love.
