t’s late. I’ve come
to find the flower which blossoms
like a saint dying upside down.
The rose won’t do, nor the iris.
I’ve come to find the moody one, the shy one,
downcast, grave, and isolated.

see most clearly
your true nature.
Small, auroral, your death is large.
You live, you die with me, in spite
of me, like my sleeping wife.

Always a rose ready
to spill its petals, so that I must pluck
each of them, or crush
the whole thing in my fist.
Or I must cup it
in my hands, adore it,
in silence,
or, more often,
in words.

Still you say nothing.
So keep secret,

I form one word,
then another, one
word
for every moment
which passes, and if I do so until
all words are spoken, then
begin again,
if I adore you, Rose,
with adoration become nonsense become
praise, could I stop our dying?

love your nakedness.
Naked, shy flower, sweet
to my nose, and bitter
to my tongue, among
the dying things
are you and I.

though something about the way they
stand suggests fatigue

Where were you last night
that even the storm didn’t waken you?
Even as I came to your room, closed the windows,
and kissed you, you slept.
Night passed
with interminable rain.

And don’t mistake my stillness
for awe.
It’s just that I don’t want to waken her,
though I’d love to cup her chin in my palms,

Listen now to something human.
I know moments measured
by a kiss, or a tear, a pass of the hand along a loved one’s face.
I know lips that love me,
that return my kisses
