half the perfect world

  every night he’d come to me
  i’d cook for him, i’d pour his tea
  i was in my thirties then
  had made some money
  lived with men
  
  we’d lay us down to give and get
  beneath the white mosquito net
  and since no counting had begun
  we lived a thousand years in one
  
  the candles burned
  the moon went down
  the polished hill
  the milky town
  transparent, weightless, luminous
  uncovering the two of us
  on that fundamental ground
  where love’s unwilled, unleashed, unbound
  and half the perfect world is found
