Ali Alnamer Poet ABC

I Can'T Live With You

I cannot live with you,
It would be life,
And life is over there
Behind the shelf
The sexton keeps the key to,
Putting up
Our life, his porcelain,
Like a cup

Discarded of the housewife,
Quaint or broken;
A newer Sevres pleases,
Old ones crack.

I could not die with you,
For one must wait
To shut the other's gaze down,
You could not.

And I, could I stand by 
And see you freeze,
Without my right of frost,
Death's privilege?

Glow plain and foreign
On my homesick eye,
Except that you, than he
Shone closer by.
