Requiem

You draw your breath
yearning
a sadness infinite
in its contemplation;

I, who embraced death
in dumbfounded rapture
am reborn
in the eternal question
imprisoned in your eyes;

Are we to celebrate 
this reprieve
relying 
on our doomed songs 
of desperate desire?

Let's be buried together.



(from ''Burnt Offerings, 1996)
