since feeling is first
who pays attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool 
when spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady I swear by all flowers.  Don't cry
-the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelid's flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

and death i think is no parenthesis
