More than nakedness, for there is no cover to take. The fire in your eyesis ringed with water; wide and cool. We are far from the brutal place, but you do not think so. You take my hand and disappear like you were never there, except that I am now somewhere else. Donna Goddard
About This Quote

In the poem, "More than nakedness, for there is no cover to take," the speaker is describing how he has been rejected by a woman. In the beginning of the poem, it sounds as if he is going to apologize for being naked, but then he goes on to describe the woman as beautiful and his experience as a good one. He goes on to describe how she smiled at him and then vanished from his sight. When a person disappears from a person's sight they are gone forever. This woman was so beautiful that it felt as if her presence was all around him, yet he never saw her or spoke to her.
