This Pleasure and Disorder

Too close-
This exquisite collapse
Of swollen mouths
And swallowed breaths

Beyond this door
Rough voices,
And irregular silence-
'There is no center,
No beauty' they say

But in this room
I hear only the shift of your body
With your passage into me

Even as the walls slouch,
Heavy and obscene
