The Good Dream

by Denise Levertov
BIOGRAPHY




Rejoicing

because we had met again
we rolled laughing
over and over upon the big bed.

The joy was
not in a narrow sense
erotic--not
narrow in any sense.
It was

that all impediments,
every barrier, of history,
of learn'd anxiety,
wrong place and wrong time,

had gone down,
vanished.
It was the joy

of two rivers
meeting in depths of the sea.

1970
