Tenses


I am will be not now I am

(the wonderful energy
of the yew tree of your sleep
softness of the lamp in tears
silk of the single moon)

I will

the moon is a stick
wishing it were a rose.
wanting to be (a rose)
(with a coat of wind)

my love throws herself

but I am not

(against a litany rejected,
making me a rope of lyrics)
