Lake

 Maidenly lake, fathomless lake,
Stay as you were once, overgrown with rushes,
Idling with a reflected cloud, for my sake
Whom your shore no longer touches.


Your girl was always real to me.

Her bones lie in a city by the sea.

Everything occurs too normally.

A unique love simply wears away.


Girl, hey, girl, we repose in an abyss.

The base of a skull, a rib, a pelvis,
Is it you? me? We are more than this.

No clock counts hours and years for us.


How could a creature, ephemeral, eternal,
Measure for me necessity and fate?
You are locked with me in a letter-crystal.

No matter that you're not a living maid.
