Poem: Requiem

  You draw your breath yearning a sadness infinite in its contemplation;   I, who embraced death in dumbfounded rapture am reborn in the eternal question imprisoned in your eyes;   Are we to celebrate this reprieve relying on our doomed songs of desperate desire?   Let's be buried together.  ----------- ------------- ---------------- ---------------  from Burnt Offerings, 1996
