In its task. I will keep still, my eye
On your eye, waiting for you to look away.
How to stay along the edge,

Let the ungraceful fasten, perhaps
Become love, a place where it might begin;
How to make of each other a garment, a way

To remain, one holding the other up
Against the blue, the unmistakable trees.

Sophie Cabot Black from Here in the Open
