FINALLY THE FOOL UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY HAD DROPPED FROM THEIR HANDS

To PRC 

Friendship came first, then lust,

and only when I had lost you

did I realise that I truly loved

you; that from beyond every

base thought and act I had

grasped a thing of greater

beauty, whose lasting value

I saw only after all the mud

of fleshy passion had been

cleaned away with the stained

cloth of our bitter loss.
