Domicile
¦¦¦ Love, dark animal,
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ or clown:
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ child in her
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ she is alone
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Brush your heavy fur
Against her, ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ being such
No one can look too much.
Tell her ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Nothing can be taken
Which has not been given:
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ time is forgiven:
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
You are not mistaken
(Blackout of O Love Sweet Animal by Delmore Schwartz)
