    Talking in bed ought to be easiest‚  Lying together there goes back so far‚  An emblem of two people being honest.  Yet more and more time passes silently.  Outside‚ the wind’s incomplete unrest  Builds and disperses clouds in the sky‚  And dark towns heap up on the horizon.  None of this cares for us. Nothing shows why  At this unique distance from isolation  It becomes still more difficult to find  Words at once true and kind‚  Or not untrue and not unkind. Broadcast BY PHILIP
