When love is not enshrined
In unrealizable romantic notions,
But wears the simple clothes
Of ordinary kindness,
...
You secretly cut yourself
With razor blades,
In every way misbehave.
...
I normally do not remember dreams
That assail me when I sleep,
I normally do not want to;
And when I do remember them,
...
I love you in the rain
Walking lonely along the boulevard
Gazing at all the passing cars;
The glimmer of neon signs
...
I have not heard
The melody of morning birds
This entire summer season…
I’m sure they still sing
...
Electric moment,
Heartbeats ecstatic,
I’m convinced
I can disintegrate
...
Let’s tour graveyard sites
On lonely nights,
Kiss like death
Each other’s breath,
...
Yellow birds in the green summer grass
And sunlight falling softly upon marigolds,
You could close your eyes and dream
You were an Indian
...
Poetry is not my friend,
It is only sad images of disappointment,
A desolate history
I don’t want to believe.
