Hang over my feet
Like lousy flowers
That love just like me

Hang over my feet
Like lousy flowers
That love just like me

Thought
Much less
of me
Flask-less-ly
You waited
Like spirits
Hanging over

Covers us in blue
In the instant
Of this instant
Memory invents
Another present
A circular courtyard
With superstitious
Flashes of light
Intended to cover
Every crack in our horizon

The eternities of a second
My whole life to solve
Pitiless searches for a body
To grow old with
Nameless sensations
Such a cruel thing
To miss the dead
With this immeasurable clarity
Like gravid drops of hope
Spinning over itself
Tirelessly, till we learn
How to love, again . .
