My Wife I Sing
My wife I sing from the other shore
like a prowler surviving
soul tossed to the sky’s wing
no sun to pursue any more.
In my memory are signs
I’ve never before witnessed
in the dead heart of madness
inventing the lifelines
where we all lose our direction
are extreme love’s believers
dazzling poems our protection...
this world I’m now leaving
that can’t see light glowing
on the chaos of your going.

The Other One
You are the one
You are myself
Who is cured
By light
You are the thing
Of gold and magic
Living real
Under the sun
You are here
Another leaving
The cruel game
