Elegy

Adieu near those fields that smoke disembowels And that your arm pushes away For a long time until the inevitable stratum of the Adieus until the next Adieu The door in a cliff has closed. I wanted Daylight to enter here only through the arc-lamp of your eyes That the limits of this place be defined only By the carnal walls our bodies erected Opened wider on the recaptured past than the smallest Pocket-watch and its visible trail ever were Your mouth swallowed the hour and my teeth broke on it When I entered you with kisses Under the full-blown palm of multiple hands The rose you know, on the ground now, Perfumed the silence and killed our secrets Marking our garden with fear that was no longer fear Adieu    the songs are ended    the years disemboweled And may your body distance itself For a long time until the ineluctable regret of Adieus until forever
