Body of Loneliness

She entered my foot with her foot
and she entered my waist with her snow.
She entered my heart saying,
"Yes, that's right."
And so the Body of Loneliness
was covered from without,
and from within
the Body of Loneliness was embraced.
Now every time I draw a breath
she whispers to my breathlessness,
"Yes, my love, that's right, that's right."

Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing
