Undo me, my garments are in pain. Now I must crawl naked to your heart. Can I not find there a place to lie? Lovers' kisses linger when they part. Even so, shall I with you remain. Life's not flesh, nor does it end with death. Its force, still radiant, fills each empty place. Gone the star, the light still strikes the eye; Gone the flesh, the soul retains its grace. Your life, your love, your joy--these are my breath.
