Denise Levertov / What She Could Not Tell Him



What She Could Not Tell Him
by Denise Levertov
BIOGRAPHY

I wanted

 to know all the bones of your spine, all

 the pores of your skin,

 tendrils of body hair.

To let

all of my skin, my hands,

ankles, shoulders, breasts,

even my shadow,

be forever imprinted

with whatever of you

is forever unknown to me.

To cradle your sleep.
