Sonnet 73

In necessary sleep I, unaware
of how my hair would thicken and then thin,
how soon the recent novelty of air
would come on schedule as oxygen,
lay dreaming nothing, what I now can't dream.
How can it be you'll cede your daily trip,
who cares for me and cares for me? It seems
impossible you'll let them stop the drip.

But we have loved as by a living will
to which just one revision has been made,
so as to testify that two can still
face unity and nothing, though afraid.
In light whereof, we'll let them pull the plug,
and trust one heart will tolerate the tug.
