LOVE LYRIC

Stir—

Shake off sleep.

Your eyes are the soul of clear waters—

Pigeons

In a city street.

Suns now dead

Have tucked away of their gold for your hair:

My buried mouth still tastes their fires.

A tender god built your breasts—

Apples of desire;

Their whiteness slakes the throat;

Their form soothes like honey.

Wake up!

Or the song-bird in my heart

Will peck open the shell of your dreams.

· · · · ·

Sleep, my own,

Soaring over rivers of fire.

Sleep, my own,

Wading waters of gold.

Joy is in my heart—

It flutters around in my soul.

... Softly—

I hear the rosy dreams ...
