I Have Come To Take Away My Love
I have been thinking about you
All night long
And re-thinking, asking myself
Which is the mid-point
Between now and eternity
And in that one night
I lived three centuries into the past
And three others into the future
(Into the dim regions
Whence my fathers came
And into a void
Far from my native clime)
And in that one night, too,
I peered deep into your heart
And saw seated there
As on a pile of loot
Cupid…silently beckoning!
Ha, ha! ha! I have come
To take away my love!
And you whose faces I see
Remain invisible to Wanja!
