but being together solves most of it,
in fact solves all of it
for as long as those things stay solved
in the history of woman and
man, it's different for each
better and worse for each--
for me, it's splendid enough to remember
past the marching of armies
and the horses that walk the streets outside
past the memories of pain and defeat and unhappiness:
you brought it to me,
when you take it away
do it slowly and easily
make it as if I were dying in my sleep insted of in
my life, amen
