What did we need of lectures and books?

I had the syllabus of your body

The blackboard of your skin.

You contained everything I wanted to know.

From you, the periodic table of the heart

and the mysterious language of love.

From you, the formula to calculate

distance and longing, volume and force.

You were a canon of experience

an encyclopedia of the unknown.

All night, I studied you.

By day, we slept and dreamt,

Wrote papers of our connection

Typed a universe with our hands.

What morning brings

What the morning brings A new light on the old earth Rejoice in this life
