Body Remember

Body, remember not only how much you were loved

not only the beds you lay on.

but also those desires glowing openly

in eyes that looked at you,

trembling for you in voices-

only some chance obstacle frustrated them.

Now that it's all finally in the past,

it seems almost as if you gave yourself

to those desires too-how they glowed,

remember, in eyes that looked at you,

remember, body, how they trembled for you in those voices.
