How hard it is for me, who live<br>in the excitement of women<br>and have the desire for them<br>in my mouth like salt. Yet<br>you have taken me and quieted me.<br>You have been such light to me<br>that other women have been<br>your shadows. You come near me<br>with the nearness of sleep.<br>And yet I am not quiet.<br>It is to be broken. It is to be<br>torn open. It is not to be<br>reached and come to rest in<br>ever. I turn against you,<br>I break from you, I turn to you.<br>We hurt, and are hurt,<br>and have each other for healing.<br>It is healing. It is never whole.
