MADLY IN LOVE

we have fallen madly in love  
or perhaps  
we have just fallen in love  
or we certainly  
love each other  
but maybe  
we just need each other  
 
a moratorium on desolation  
its possible no one else would have us  
and solitude will seal us in  
like black stone gargoyles
that crush the sky  
   
will we not turn to naked rain  
wandering transparencies  
bodiless monsters  
like desolated Hiroshima's  
with led mouths  
horizons in retrograde  
and virgin lips  
sallow vagrant hollows  
our eyes windmills veiled  
stained with tears  
road signs  
no one can read  
and weeping  
no one hears
