Leaping from that other darkness
Come two circles of flame—
When the pressure of your lips
Made of my eyes
Two suns
Embracing the world with light …
It was a darkness
As rich with strong wonder
As the depths of the sea,
And you were upon me
Like great sea-gardens
And great waves …
What shall I care, not seeing you now in the dark?—
For you have fulfilled all darkness
With light,
To which I need not even open my eyes.
