TWO-HOUSED, ETERNAL ONE, you are, un-
inhabitable. That is why
we build and build. That is why
it stands, this
pitiable bedstead, - in the rain,
there it stands.

Come, beloved.
That we may lie here, this
is the partition-: He
will then suffice himself, twice over.

Leave him, let
him have himself wholly, as the half
and half again. We,
we are the rain-bed, let him
come and lay us down dry.

………………………

He does not come, does not lay us down dry.
