I press my palms on Window's white cross Is that Your dark Form Beyond the glass? How do they come who haunt us In gown or plumey hat Or white marbling nakedness Frozen - is it - That? Their remembrances haunt us A trick of a wrist Loved then - automatic - Caught at and kist Gone now to what melting Of flesh and bone Infinite Graces Bundled - in One Do not walk lonely Out in the cold I will come to you Naked and bold And your sharp fingers Featly might pick Flesh from my moist bones Touch at the quick - My warm your cold's food - Your chill breath my air When our white mouths meet It mingles - there - C.LaMotte --------------------- And is love then more Than the kick galvanic Or the thundering roar of Ash volcanic Belched from some crater Or earth-fire within? Are we automata or Angel-kin? -R. H. Ash Possession - a Romance by A.S. Byatt
