"I could give you myself but nothing more / Yet by the same token give nothing less"

Our Everlasting Now

for Franziska

I could never afford to pay you for
This moment of human propinquity
Arc-sparking the space between you and me
I could give you myself but nothing more
Yet by the same token give nothing less

Here in the dark together we can see
By this spark which arcs between me and you
Such wonders as have not before been seen
And all our secrets confide and confess

Here we can discern the false from the true
The that-which-is from the what-might-have-been
But never mind about the what-might-be
Since it never really is anyway

We cherish this our everlasting now
Where you and I always know what we mean
By such light as sparks in the dark allow
Our darkest night blooms into brightest day

I could never afford to pay you for
This moment of human propinquity
Arc-sparking the space between you and me
I could give you myself but nothing more
Yet by the same token give nothing less
