The scale

It is easier to place
this body on the scale and watch the numbers
read backward or forward;
and anyone can tell me, for that matter,
how many watts
are in the bulb hanging from one's kitchen.
Who can tell me, sweet companion,
how many candle lights are
in your radiance?
what scale can possible read
the depth of your heart?
Or how many ounces are contained in the ocean?
who can tell me?
