Repression
Surcease of wicked immortality,
love, let us tearless part and love forget
torch memory from when we first had met
and thought love overtopped morality.
Believing we had solved duality
we merged and melted, amorous duet.
But now we rue, remember, and regret
our foolish, lusty illegality.
Must we die to each other or the world,
or try to transfer what we both have felt
to other lovers, faceless, yet-unknown?
Let us instead encyst our passion, curled
beneath our hearts, a stone, a hardened welt
with no inside, no name but each our own.
