My love was not blindness
I simply closed my eyes
to an eye; a mouth, a hand
Though you materialised as
Smoke between me and sleep

My love was not lustful
I simply lay with
Adoration; fear, deceit, inferiority
Though your sheets tangle and
choke me still

My love was not secret
I simply diverge from your
speech; anger, appeal, intelligence
Though you hid your understanding
Of my smiles

My love was, notwithstanding
You.
