As We Are So Wonderfully Done With Each Other

As we are so wonderfully done with each other
We can walk into our separate sleep
on floors of music where the milkwhite cloak of childhood
lies

oh my love, my golden lark, my soft long doll
Your lips have splashed my dull house with print of flowers
My hands are crooked where they spilled over your dear
curving

It is good to be weary from that brilliant work
It is being God to feel your breathing under me

A waterglass on the bureau fills with morning…..
Don't let anyone in to wake us

    Very enticing!

    "A waterglass on the bureau fills with morning "
    I love that line. Wish I'd written it, but then I wish I'd written alot of things! I really like the feel, and mood of this one. Excellent reading.

    Interesting...steamy, yet never overtly sexual. The only thing I don't understand is the first line...we are "so wonderfully done" with each other... When I say "I'm done with you" that means "byebye." Maybe it could mean "done" as in "doing..."?
