I may not look like you
Or laugh like you either

Your lips red as cherry wine
Mine thin and pale, face ashen

Your figure lithe swathed in fine linen
Rags, mud-stiffened, shroud this sack of bones

Sugared sweets, nights warm
On your tongue and by your hearth

Broken glass and sorrowed truth
Rasp my skin; stone bridge my rooof

Yet twice our glance did catch
You trembled at my touch

For in my eyes you found
A soul to mirror your own.
