Body, remember not only how much you were loved, <br />not only the beds on which you lay, <br />but also those desires which for you <br />plainly glowed in the eyes, <br />and trembled in the voice -- and some <br />chance obstacle made them futile. <br />Now that all belongs to the past, <br />it is almost as if you had yielded <br />to those desires too -- remember, <br />how they glowed, in the eyes looking at you; <br />how they trembled in the voice, for you, remember, body.<br /><br />Constantine P.
