My Dead Language

I like your dark and your silver too.

I like your dark and your silver too.

I love your single tormented memory

That sighs beneath the air.

Shuffle me, mix me up.

Still I am the blessed dreamer,

That clutches you while you sleep

Hollow I sit

Fading

Reappearing

Making love sightless

I’ve crossed and I’ve come abroad

Still you darken

You meet my ambitious hands

Yet closer still

At six o’clock you curl

You doze among the impatient, innumerable

Palms of pearl
