Breathe in
The briny bonne odeur
Of a damsel replete.
Remember the nape of her neck
As she lay there beside you,
Soundly asleep.
Relinquish your body,
Your soul, to the rubble,
Your heart, and your mind to the street
Wring your hands and curse the heavens
The fates, The Gods
On your knees
And what of these torments
Of This regret
What of these torments and regret
Lain aside
Breathe in the briny bonne odeur Of a damsel replete.
Remember the nape of her neck As she lay there beside you, Soundly asleep.
Relinquish your body, Your soul, to the rubble; Your heart, and your mind to the street
Wring your hands and curse the heavens
The fates, The Gods, On your knees
And what of these torments, Of This regret
What of these torments and regret Lain aside
