We are never alone Though we wish to believe That we are.
The lover and the beloved crave anonymity, But in their most passionate embrace They are not alone.
They cannot shake off their fantasies Which always involve the other Or a metamorphosed self.
They cannot take those repetitive movements Of primordial life they hanker For very long.
For thinking beings that they are They are all too quickly repulsed By disturbing closeness.
See for yourself What Hamlet tells Ophelia Or Thanatos says to Eros.
We are never ‘in the other’ Though we wish to believe That we are.
