a bottomless well of morning light

What a ticking in the heart 
makes the dreamless night seem long! 

The shadowy light, in motion, 
dresses our naked bodies 
and gives them sparkles of rare woods 
or, greedy, makes them more opaque. 

Enjoy it! if you wish, 
provoke the second hand of death 
to suddenly fail— what weariness? 
in what affliction? as in a bottomless 
well of morning light . . . 

Let us be silent this last night— 
Let us then wait without farewell: 
this silver dust— 
moonlight! of course!— 
makes us again romantic.
