how I ache for the day
when we will finally face the future together
forces united
and what forces!
You, reunited with yourself
and my spirit strong and patient
Surely a team that can invent anything.

how I ache for the day
filled with presence, a present sentiment
bodies united
and what unity!
You, glowing in yourself
amidst my body strong and tender
An intimacy that always improves on words.

how I ache for you
in the corners and the middle of my mind
a dream: someday
and what a day
You being yourself
and me, mediated and moderated
A work of art, we two, if we so desire.
