“As We Are So Wonderfully Done With Each Other,” Kenneth Patchen

As we are so wonderfully done with each other
   We can walk into our separate sleep
On floors of music where the milkwhite cloak of childhood lies

O my lady, my fairest dear, my sweetest, loveliest one
Your lips have splashed my dull house with the speech of flowers
    My hands are hallowed where they touched over your
       soft curving.

It is good to be weary from that brilliant work   
It is being God to feel your breathing under me

A waterglass on the bureau fills with morning …
    Don’t let anyone in to wake us.
