Bride and Groom Lie Hidden for Three Days

She gives him his eyes, she found

Among some rubble, among some

He gives her her

He just seemed to pull it down out of the air and lay it over

She weeps with fearfulness and

She has found his hands for him, and fitted them freshly at the

They are amazed at themselves, they go feeling all over

He has assembled her spine, he cleaned each piece

And sets them in perfect orderA superhuman puzzle but he is

She leans back twisting this way and that, using it and

Now she has brought his feet, she is connecting

So that his whole body lights

And he has fashioned her new

With all fittings complete and with newly wound coils, all shiningly

He is polishing every part, he himself can hardly believe

They keep taking each other to the sun, they find they can

To test each new thing at each new

And now she smoothes over him the plates of his

So that the joints are

And now he connects her throat, her breasts and the pit of her

With a single

She gives him his teeth, tying the the roots to the centrepin of his

He sets the little circlets on her

She stitches his body here and there with steely purple

He oils the delicate cogs of her

She inlays with deep cut scrolls the nape of his

He sinks into place the inside of her

So, gasping with joy, with cries of

Like two gods of

Sprawling in the dirt, but with infinite

They bring each other to perfection.
