Married love

"Married love"
by Kuan Tao-Sheng

You and I

Have so much love

That it burns like a fire

In which we bake a lump of clay

Moulded into a figure of you

And a figure of me

Then we take both of them

And break them into pieces

And mix the pieces with water

And mould again a figure of you

And a figure of me

I am in your clay

You are in my clay

In life we share a single quilt

In death we will share one coffin
