That first Saturday, in her red car,
driving to Bruges, we hid for a while
in the music in her car.

For two days we were happy.
And in the center of that happiness
We walked on the Sacred way,
Ruin around us, to the Palatine.
Climbing, we heard the bells.
From Rome and the ruin beneath . . .

Now I am again on Palatine
In autumn and now properly domestic
Seeking Livia's house
Not entirely in this moment
But not unhappy
The cedars are still here . . .

It is not necessary now
To pass her silently in long halls.
And otherwise underscore
That we are separate
We are not one thing
We are singular.
This . . .

Carefully connect the edge of before
To the raw sore edge of after.
Carefully remove the moments between .
The touches, the fears, the smiles,

If you don't love me tell me so,
I said, I'll surely go.
No it is not like that she said

After it was over
I would imagine
I would pretend
That after the customs
She would be at the gate
And we would drive to Zodiac
In her little red car

The summer leaves that shaded her
Are fallen now. Wet, dead, flat
Some skeletal, some wedged and broken
Like an old tool or a heart.
Smelling of loss beneath
The naked . . .

The sunlit epilogue of our ‘affair.'

Smiled at me while asking
'what is the pleasure of being young?'
I laughed and sought to answer

When we were lovers
Even those when we were distant from our moments
Even those that edged the parting of our tides.

One has measured strength and growing capabilities

The restaurant on the Galleries des Prince
Where we met beginning our first . . .
