Heloise

Speak to me as you do

Or you might do if I know you

It is you; it is me

It is you; it is me

Wholly guilty I am

Wholly innocent too

Give me a word

I was not with me only but with you

Don't we fall together?

Don't we join together

In impermanence?

I say virtue applies not to our bodies

But to our souls (Come back to me, it's okay)

(It's okay)

Needing your willful rhyme

A trial of the mind

A coupling, a story

And all of our curious nighttimes

All forms of love

Arrangements made are songs of love

Are songs of praise

Wholly it is me; it is you

Give me a word, I beg you

Give me a word
