“Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together
in their sleep,

Close as two pages
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.

Each knows all
the other knows,
learned by heart
from head to toes.”

and those awful hanging breasts
held us all together
or made us all just one?”

with layers of beautiful herring scales
