Ivory Body

“We have fallen in the dreams the Ever-living
Breathe on the burnished mirror of the world
And then smooth out with ivory hands and sigh,
And find their laughter sweeter to the taste
For that brief sighing.”

your body as big as a moving van—
the houses, the highways are turning you in.”
