After Love

Afterward, the compromise
Bodies resume their boundaries
These legs, for instance, mine
Your arms take you back in
Spoons of our fingers
Lips admit their ownership
The bedding yawns
A door blows aimlessly ajar
And overhead a plane
Sings songs coming down
Nothing is changed except
There was a moment when
The wolf, the mongering wolf
Who stands outside the self
Lay lightly down and slept
Nothing is changed except
There was a moment when
The wolf, the mongering wolf
Who stands outside the self
Lay lightly down and slept
