SONNET: 6, by HAYDEN CARRUTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Dearest, I never knew such loving. There Last Line: But still augmented, more than we've ever been Subject(s): Aliens; Extraterrestrials | |||
Dearest, I never knew such loving. There in that glass tower in the alien city, alone, we found what somewhere I had always known exists and must exist, this fervent care, this lust of tenderness. Two were aware how in hot seizure, bone pressed to bone and liquid flesh to flesh, each separate moan was pleasure, yes, but most in the other's share. Companions and discoverers, equal and free, so deep in love we adventured and so far that we became perhaps more than we are, and now being home is hardship. Therefore are we diminished? No. We are of the world again but still augmented, more than we've ever been. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
