  4.                       It is hump-backed,
  5.                       this relationship.
  6.                       
  7.                       It is
  8.                          warm liquid heavings into heaven
  9.                          making the spine supporting,
  10.                       
  11.                       this
  12.                          our "so what shall we do, tonight?"  's
  13.                          and "i didn't really mean it"        's

  24.                          watch it shamble along the street.
  25.                       
  26.                       Sometimes they reach into pockets
  27.                       often catch themselves
  28.                       always quickly go away.
  29.                       
  30.                       You, deforming my stride.
  31.                       My glances scowling upward
  32.                       while I shrug beneath your weight.
  33.                       
  34.                       But maybe
  35.                       with a swooping swing of the rope
  36.                       he may cry
  37.                          "Sanctuary!  Sanctuary!"
  38.                       by dashing her upon the stones.
