Love Poem

You are buried in my pillow of fever

And burn heavily in my eyeballs. Your odour

Pervades my bed, and will not be laid.

 

Though you offer me an orphan future

Which I leave untouched on an unknown doorstep

Medicine is the touch of your lip.

 

If you called as you do call from the bottom of the sea

I would hear you in my grave easily

I would step down to join you happily.

 

Brushing the lies aside I shall leave my bed

I shall find you under the Rumanian dead

Under the wreck, still arched for attack.
