KISS ME GOODBYE
Kiss me goodbye
Its time we opened our doors to other lights
My beautiful one, once we were royal
We swallowed lunar fish together
Let ourselves be birds of all passion
Or beasts on prowl at every feast
Kiss me goodbye
I cant help you anymore
Nor you me
The years are airplanes
Your blue eyes are ocean calm
Because they foresaw everything
Knew what would remain
What would riptide away
Kiss me goodbye
The messengers of fate are passing
Coveys of barges under the bridge
I cant call you by your name
A soldier is knocking at the door
Were standing at the foot of a mountain
This morning we were born for something else
Your breath is smashing into me
Your body, joy-jewel, has raked me in love
Like the pages of ten thousand books
Kiss me! I want to laugh again
Know the wings of tulips,
The garden adrift in green shadow
Take your shivers, the balconies
Of beauty, your wetness, your maidenhair
Kiss me goodbye quickly!
I want to be carried toward something else
I want to leave this lunatic sobbing
Why cant love stop like the clock of the seasons?

SELF-PORTRAIT

18
Im a bulb
Globe of sun
Dangling
Im pulp
Hard cool shining
Core of darkness
Stained with your lava
Im suspended
By filaments
In a vacuum of my own making
From my life which was called you
Im an egg of light
You robbed me of the yoke
You blackened my white
My body a clotted fireball
My mouth yelps
I glow and flash like a bulb
In dark rooms bright with absence

It will be you!
It cant be but you!
Until then Im sleeping like a leper
At the bottom of the white valley
Of the most vicious, violent sleep imaginable!
