酷我-北美枫

[anna]

The whole afternoon
I should've only listened.
Instead,
the clock broke its arms.

I should've known
knives flying upon tongues.
Line by line,
a sweet cat was buried.

The whole night
I try to figure out
which blade, the sharpest,
into my flesh, the most bitter.

What Now?


Into a secret garden,
along the rushing creek,
I see you,
the fierce image of a tiger.

I want to say hello,
your sweet cat,
only to hear you stalking away
into the dark.

Comments from Don.

It's interesting how, like a dreamer, you substitute objects for feelings (the clock was broken, the cats dying). This makes poetry live.

I’ll never hurt you again.
That is what I say.
That is what I remember.

Upon my eyelid,
the dark falls.
Closing the door,
I become a fossil
of fish.

Farewell

I should have listened
the whole afternoon –
Instead, the clock
broke its arms.

I should have known
that knives flying back
and forth off our tongues –
word by word – another
life of the cat would be killed.

The whole night
I’ve been trying
to figure out
which blade was
the sharpest,
the most bitter.
