I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS
I'm not sure about this but I suppose
that a woman and a man
fall in love some day,
little by little, loneliness starts to set in:
something in their hearts tells them they're alone;
all alone, they enter one another;
they go on killing one another.
This all happens in silence. The way
the light enters the eye.
Love merges bodies.
In silence, they go on filling one another.
They'll wake up, arm in arm, one day,
thinking they know all there is to be known;
they'll see that they're naked and know.
(I'm not sure about this: I suppose)
