Coming Night

We went into the kitchen,
got ourselves another
"kulcher," what we call
another mother.

We struck so hard,
so hard, until we sparked.

We said: Hey, hey, hey,
come away with us tonight.

Come halfway to tomorrow.

So won't we
render that kiss?

We said: Won't we
never start loving if we turn?

Wake up with the rain
kissing a face?

Oh, we went into the kitchen
to catch the rain
falling like such small hands
waving from such great heights.

Everything looks this perfect,
we said, from so far away.

The persistent call of crows
came down now. Everything
fell down now,

is what we told night.

Oh, woe, woe, woe.
Woe is weak, is what we said tonight.

There's a shadow, we said.
We can't see these eyes.

There's a shadow,
the graffiti of night, we said.
a shadow we can't see.

We never thought
before we said:
You're the only reason
we keep on coming home.

That's what we
never thought we
love you.
