Poems
6d
the perfume of things lost
I was always turning around to see
who was behindΒ Β me
and there in lies the danger
and so the past holds me in its arms...
...the tip of your cigarette glows in the dark.
(the light without a flame)
you are sitting in a chair.
I m sitting in a chair.
we don't speak.
that is my everlasting memory of you.
the fire had taken flight.
you bought books and never read them.
you always used too much perfume.
I had no time for you, lonesome dove.
my heart of sand,
but thunder now follows my heart,
with the perfume of things lost.
