Where To Inter You? Poem by Fatos Arapi

Where To Inter You?



With you in my arms, with you in my arms,
Dear and frigid, where to inter you?
Within my mind? You shunned that place,
Within my soul? It cannot be there.

I tread the earth, I traverse time,
But find no room, no tomb to inter you,
At last I return and enter a teardrop,
There I shall place you, lay you to rest.

(1972)
