You kissed me through a chain link fence
That day I saw you last
The one you'd scaled so easily
When on your nightly haunts
I felt those lips, now tinged with steel
As hot as midday burns
I couldn't touch your sinewed limbs
Bronze icons, comely turned
The gate was locked, what did you care?
Unbounded was your soul
A captivating ride in air
On black wings without goal
I tried to leave you many times
In forest brambles hidden
In thickets like a wounded deer
Feet marred from blisters trodden
When I returned (you knew I would)
You hewed a barricade
So I might not escape again
As if I ever could
That chain link fence is long since gone
Replaced by concrete posts
The woods, our secret lair of love,
A tended field of groves
Where are you flying free, my dear?
Whom have you captured now
Besides my heart that won't forget
Those chain links on my brow
You kissed me through a chain link fence
That day I saw you last
The one you'd scaled so easily
When on your nightly haunts.
