Carelessly

CARELESSLY

 

Carelessly

you struck the chords of my lute:

amid the crowd, my head.

 

Carelessly

rose thorns you hurled at me

into my soul: sore scratches

 

Foolishly

April turned into December

buds scorched by frost.

 

Groping: the attack

On the floor you found my soul

fallen candles crumbled walls

pots of upset sadness.

 

Your hands of so skilled a man

suddenly, bravely, strongly

from my soul pruned death

first identified in shouts

later uprooted in despair.

 

Groping: the defense

If life is temporary business

field of light walled with love

strongly I’ll suck your sorrow

shadows won’t suck you stranger.
