When to the Silent Generosities


Laying your sonorous mouth on the bad font
The crushed velvet and very reeds of Pan
Ah! Will we run hand in hand all the way?
Will we make it to the ocean’s lip before we
Leave in idleness and lust the polished horns
And forehead of this spring tantrum this hurt
And this pleasure? What captures us kills us
A piano or a violin maybe even your uncle’s
Ukulele seduces us into this final abstraction
And O we smile in our solitude we prance
These peaceful nights alone we dance
Who in this god-forsaken world has a right
To see our glances? The world seems closer
And too loud it rushes on us like Niagara Falls!
