A Pretty Song
From the complications of loving you
I think there is no end or
return.
No answer, no coming out of it.
Which is the only way to love, isn't it?
This isn't a playground, this
is
earth, our heaven, for a while.
Therefore I have given precedence
to all my sudden, sullen, dark
moods
that hold you in the center of my world.
And I say to my body: grow thinner still.
And I say to my fingers, type me
a pretty song,
And I say to my heart: rave on.
