A Complete One

is there any parallel to be drawn
between you and me and a King or Queen? if there is,
it is the re-creation of the things we lovers make.
and they, these things we create, whet the pages of history,
as pauper or prince…no matter for any difference because
difference is the qualitative comparison.
their irresistibleness has more value than a single
person’s hopes, and dreams or the endless nights of Beauty,
or a single person’s unexpected season of their becoming.
despite the disparate faults revealed in every lover’s nest,
the offspring emerge as
invariable mixtures from the reciprocity of personality,
which comes from King and Queen, of which all of us are,
contributing to the arrival of new individuals, unique!
out of the separable madness of love,
from the reason of two, with a newness to repeat
comes
a
complete
one.
