EPIGRAPH: Body, remember not only how much you were loved,
not only the beds you lay on,
but also thosedesires glowing openly
in eyes that looked at you
trembling for you in voices --
only some chance obstacle frustrated them
Nowthat it's all finally in yhe past,
it seems almostas if you gave yourself
to those desires too -- how they glowed
remember, in eyes that looked at you,
remember body, how they trembled for you in those voices
