Woman by a Pool I’m the Black Narcissus of your darkest dream, Who you are in pleasure, the night you are inside, The calm, slow stirring of a hand that’s not Afraid of what is swimming there, not so still As I am still, as you are, when I am near. Exploding stars have darkened me to this And all the world attends on me, and flowers. I dream this waking dream for you and while I burn and come to life and never end, you’ll Live and never die this never hour we’re in.
