Your
silence tickles me, Migin
Your
silence tickles me. Those ploys
Are
salve for a cowherd’s lone,
Red
magic, one moment lymph-red sore
To
sprout a weal of passion, loath
Trances
- and two years’ glaze on corns
Peel at the touch of your eyes
Your silence tickles me.
Your silence tickles me.
How
sole is that calm glow!
Do
you tempt gods? Do winds ride
The
tone of your pulse? The night’s
Cold
trumpeter? A dire lapdog cast
What
brings you back to me? Tell me, Migin
Your
silence tickles me.
by that dusk...
So
now the sun leaps to a death-tryst
In
shredded robes, and rashes break
On every pore, heavy with dreams
So now, sadness flags on petals of wine
So now, sadness flags on petals of wine
For
lake-mists from the meadows of lone
In October dusts, and threshing in shadows
So now I saw. By that dusk I saw
An angel’s flare fly in seasoned loops
So now I saw. By that dusk I saw
An angel’s flare fly in seasoned loops
I
saw you, pure to the fall of light...
