love--
a thousand little kisses,
how many swords of agony?
touch the falling night.
slow pirouette of stillness, one-footed.
single-eyed, the clock stops.
ocean eternal! give up your salt,
forget my name but grant me
wings, or scales, moonlight scattered.
silence is not golden: leaden.
dark purpose of sinking, heart
beating...itself against the wall.
love--
a thousand little kisses,
each one: sword of agony!
