Marriage.
I lie down in darkness beside her,
this Earth in a wedding gown.
Who, what she is, I do not know.
Nor is it a question the night would ask.
I have listened.
The woman beside me breathes.
I kiss that, a breath of her, and glow, glow.
Hush now, my shadow.
Let us, day breaks, depart.
Yes, and so we have.
