She thinks of love
The way a courser thinks of speed:
As a gift from above,
A destiny, a need.
She thinks of love

To say
That you could never disappoint me
Is just to say you haven’t yet
And then extrapolate.
Of course you could.
Oh, when I think of all the ways you could
Undo me! It almost makes me weep
From the sheer foolish love of what you are so far,
My true love, my millstone.
