And pile up in neat rows
Or scatter about the countryside
We can’t let go of them
And yet we throw them away
Burning in lust and power
Such compact things
Each one immaculately conceived
Regardless of what happens later
But ultimately we had to come
To yours your particular take
On smiling and crying out
And naturally the day arrived
When you returned
To a body I could call my own
