Communion

(words lifted from a single page of "Phase The Fifth," Tess of the d'Urbervilles (Hardy))

It suddenly occurred
with as much firmness as she could
summon

Taking him suggestively
her words
thrown into his dream
enter on a new phase
leading him to Heaven
away from the ruins
they reached the stream
they stood
quite bare chilled but
in no discomfort

She induced him
covered him
the noise of these
attentions secretly wished
but his mind
remained undisturbed

They met the next morning
she had been concerned
he had an inkling
truth had awakened
deep as annihilation
trying its strength
in expectancy he knew
in the light
stood one of pure reason
it was to be trusted

Thus in the pale morning
hot and indignant
standing in its
bones a skeleton no longer
hesitated

They were packing
his weariness from the night's effort

White: (about Black)
White is missing lots of screws.
I need screws for my heart.
God made me broken.
Black too.
He's missing screws too. For his heart.
I've got all the screws black needs. I got every one.
