For you, my love
I went to a bird market
And I bought a bird
For you
My love
I went to a flower market
And I bought a flower
For you
My love
I went to a junk market
And I bought a chain
A heavey chain
For you
My love
And I went to a slave market
And I searched for you
But I couldn't find you anywhere
My love

look at her,
she's a battered slipper under the door,
an old sweater left in a box above the closet.
That's me. I am all the stray kittens I
have saved, but no one will ever save me
because no one can ever save anyone,
I am my dry hands, my bald hands,
my fucking useless hands that failed
to caress you through the head,
which failed to make your heart ache, the queen of failure, look, I'm a wild horse
that only you can fuck, tame me,
look what we are, look how much dust
I can swallow, you forgot, you forgot what I am,
look so you never forget it again,
I'm a leaf that falls, where the hell are you?
You said you would fall, why are you holding on?
did I hurt you my love? I am hurting you;
are you in pain; are you drowning?
look at me to remember, it's all a celebration...

“Your body is a hyacinth,
Into which a monk dips his waxy fingers.
Our silence is a black cavern,
From which a soft animal steps at times
And slowly lowers heavy eyelids.
On your temples black dew drips,
The last gold of expired stars”

“I too love everything that flows: rivers, sewers, lava, semen, blood, bile, words, sentences. I love the amniotic fluid when it spills out of the bag. I love the kidney with it’s painful gall-stones, it’s gravel and what-not; I love the urine that pours out scalding and the clap that runs endlessly; I love the words of hysterics and the sentences that flow on like dysentery and mirror all the sick images of the soul...”

“I love you so much I’ll never be able to tell you; I’m frightened to tell you. I can always feel your heart. Dance tunes are always right:
I love you body and soul: - and I suppose body means that I want to touch you and be in bed with you,
and i suppose soul means that i can hear you and see you and love you in every single, single thing in the whole world asleep or awake”

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

Love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear;
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun more last than star

“So quiet are the green woods
Of our homeland,
The crystalline wave
Dying away by the ruined wall,
And we wept in sleep;
Wandering with timid steps
Down past the thorny thicket,
Singers in summer's eve,
In the sacred peace
Of the far resplendent vineyard;
Shadows now in the cool womb
Of night, grief-stricken eagles.
As gently does a moonlit beam close
The scarlet scars of melancholy.”
