DwellingAs though touching hermight make him known to himself,as though his hand movingover her body might find whohe is, as though he lay inside her, a countryhis hand's traveling uncovered,as though such a country arosecontinually up out of herto meet his hand's setting forth and setting forth.And the places on her body have no names.And she is what's immense about the night.And their clothes on the floor are arrangedfor forgetfulness.
