Something you can no longer have, long
Orphan:
That sign of love's
First interpretation 
That braided mind and body.
Abridgment of the world you are,
Alike a nested cosmos,
With its lacks and superfluity
And imperfect balance in unity round,
That will ache still for what once was.

2062
Oh brave new world
That has such creatures in it!
That make its wonders whole:
Nor eye nor ear without another's
Can take the measure of what is;
One brief cell can hold a heaven,
Two see what succeeds it.

Her voice was modulated
By the voids in the terminal space,
By the long carpet lanes
That bloom and die in fluorescent light.
"Missed the flight," she said;
"Shit."
Joy was the release of something lost
And unfound still.

Ever is the course of events in full spate
Without; unaltered within,
Though alteration found.
Improvident soul,
That wants no addition to joy or woe;
That would unnature nature's motion;
Would hold a sea in harness.
Try stay a season from its name,
And call an hour stillness.
