Let
me be honest and condemn my love because of what it does not make in me,
not out of wounded vanity and pride but for the nothing that it leaves inside. If
love was the dream of a stream and bed a boat how sweet to float with you
my dear down through the meadows of flowering rush to the hush hush of
breath over the weir of death. But
love is not just knowledge and tenderness, a sympathy of brain and heart, it
must be felt hard in the lower part. Rotten with sympathy, love is a mistake
between us two because you make as little heat in me as I can make in
you. |
