The sea is a wilderness of waves,
a desert of water.
We dip and dive,
rise and roll,
hide and are hidden
on the sea.
Day, night,
night, day,
the sea is a desert of waves,
a wilderness of water.

Why does the sea moan evermore?
Shut out from heaven it makes its moan,
it frets against the boundary shore;
all earth’s full rivers cannot fill
the sea, that drinking still thirsts still.

She stands before him clothed in garments of flaming fire, inspiring terror and making body and soul terrible, full of frightening eyes, in her hand a sword dripping bitter drops.

the comrade/ twin whose palm would bear a lifeline like our own:/ decisive, arrowy,/ forked lightning of insatiate desire.

With his venom/ Irresistible/ and bittersweet/ that loosener/ of limbs, Love/ reptile-like/ strikes me down.

Under this temple there is a well so ancient/ it will abide the mouldering of the floor./ This night, for healing, I’ll tear up/ the flagstones.

Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long forgotten snow.
