Detour
janine canan
I
Here, you forgot something.
-- It's your love.
I found it after you left.
II
You fell upon me in the night,
dripping honey --
were you Beauty
or her brother Cruelty?
I fought you for a fat fist of tears.
III
Sack of lonely,
so full of tears, whys and fierce farewells;
yet empty
whenever my heart cried,
Hold me.
IV
See you on the solstice,
when the light is gone.
See you in another's eyes,
when love has died.
See you in a dream,
when I sleep alone at night.
See you 'round....
