Love Via Negativa
For this last poem I choose "I don't know?" and "baptism" since this is old, and that I found that survived the burnings. I no longer write like this, but this last one is more towards my slant like Robert Creeley.
love via negative
it is rumored
in my mind that
i smell the roses
of your eyes, that
i blindly read the wrinkled
braille of your thighs, but
i cannot speak
expressively of
your feet,
and hands and
so must dance
and clap in
instictive
musical
memory.
when i
to you
face
face to
face, to
say, how
can i
say, how
i can't
love
you. then,
well maybe
then, you
will know
how much
i do
