Your eyes (For Ada.)

I see you in the haze of the fog

I see you in the jarring light of the sun

I see you in the murmuring loneliness of my life.

And one thing is clear- I need you,

like the fish needs the water

Like the gods need libations.

Like the rose needs the songbird.

In your eyes, I see all of  my heart, beating,

Deeply crimson,  in sky-high ecstasy.

In your arms,  I see my enfant soul

In a flowery moon dance

With virgin squirrels.

Since I met you

I've been watching the shackles of sadness

Fall

Like broken glass.

I love you,  Angel

I do not know why.
