And so I went with her
Into the leaves that were shining,
Into the leaves,
I went with her gaily,
We held hands,
And kissed occasionally.
Better leave the breathing
To one who has the will
To smother you in sighs,
Will leave off breathing
To save the breath for sighs,
Sweet and slowly sighing
For love and breath and eyes.
Can you bring your memory
Into the smell of now?
Can you teach me how?
I want to be new
Here in this place with you—
Kissing more than once in a while.
