If Only
darling, darling, if only you knew how your shadow dogs my heels even as I chase after joy with a ferocity of a slavering hound the intensity of the seeking fox the hunger of the starved wolves in the timber made monstrous and greedy by imagined need

oh, my darling even now, my only my if only
