Poem by Bernard Levinson...

He:  My love

       only your left

       hand

       in my right.

       A pact for the world.

       The shore contains

       the ocean.

       They move and grow

       together.

She: That hand

       shades my breast

       from pain.

He:  I will love that

       breast

       with my mouth.

       An intimate pact-

       As clouds will nourish

       hills.

She: My heart

       wears that breast

       like a shield

       against pain.

He:  I will hold

       that heart

       In my chest …

She: And the pain

       my love-

       who will hold the

       pain?
