Faint is night when night

in dim after night,
flowers are seen, cannot see—

and night cannot (but breathe
to lovers a fading breath

that fails to see its brother.)

taste awareness between skin and thread
—hear between blue and gray.

faint is night when night
can end but in whispers—

when bodies are unsure
sheets cover, or each other.

What an interesting insight. I liked this very much, but have to admit, I want to re-read it.
