The spirited beast
insatiable
each nerve
each bone
every tooth
knows well
my loins
belly and breasts
under it
abandoned to
beastly thoughts
loaded with hopes

| In the Yard
Each grave like the next
till you reach the stone
of the woman who rests
in her own poem
There many pause |

The Lake
Burn me with kisses
wrap me in words
I become the lake
between the cliffs fingers |

We go together
along the riverbank
your arm
a silk scarf round my shoulders
in noonday sun
our eyes unite with the water
that reflects freedom |

| Looking at Pictures
There we are
along with the almighty
at the site of execution
before you shaved
here youve grown
the long beard
in which you were hanged
and in this little picture
I can be seen without you
