<p>Over these lines</p>
<p>That meet and part,</p>
<p>And meet and part&#8230;</p>
<p>My mollusk heart</p>

<p>Now I know.</p>
<p>It is me.</p>
<p>Now I know me.</p>
<p>Under the drifting clouds</p>
<p>My feet beat neatly</p>
<p>A gentle path.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">There, my panic feeds</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">with guileful care</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">premenstrual fields</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">where I dream to smoke,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">my gesture more</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">than my cigarette,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Inhaling memories,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">And transparent,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Braided afternoons.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">You sleep</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Curled up in bed</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">As in my lungs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">I look and think</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">That tranquility </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Is only whole </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">When quiet.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">I embrace you,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">My heartbeat </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Against yours.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">My breathing slows down</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">In an attempt</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">To reach yours,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Each ordered breath</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">A taciturn pearl</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Between two shells.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">And as if in a</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Theatrical performance</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Everything else subsides.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">And is contained</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">In one single enlargement </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';">Of our chests.</span></p>
