Why did you come here, complicated man?
The sun had not yet fallen when my name
came tumbling from spiced mouth.
You've never said it before,
You must have known what I am.
Allegoried Calypso and Cressida and Dulcinea,
How did you find me?
Know to send two syllable plea running over wired bridge,
straight into aching ears,
over chaotic revelry and muted sorrow
you let me drip from wrought iron balconies
drank me up straight.
You chose the city of tragic love to make
sweet girl hiccup her penitential prayers.
Perhaps I never learn,
to stop making gods out of men but you,
you make it abhorrently easy.
Twice you called out for honey girl and I screamed
alongside the brass to drown out the swell of cinnamon voice.
One more time and I would surely sink.
Do you sing so sweetly knowing nameless girl
was violently trying to put the mist back?
Because each careless wink and wolf grin
shorn down grey forest of poorly concealed intention
and weak resolve.
You called my bluff, licked coppery maw,
laughed at the familiar futitilty.
Many a sweet girl have tried to ride scorpions.
Only when I run from you do you wail from silvered moon, comefindme, donotloseme.
You know I am trapped by my own fate.
You become my darkness, abashed devil
and now I know you dream of drowning in me,
la fuente de la juventud, lion man.
I want you to fall for me and I never want to find you at my feet.
