All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate,

You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me,
I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours

You give me the

Sur La Mort de Marie: IV
As in May month, on its stem we see the rose
In its sweet youthfulness, in its freshest flower,
Making the heavens jealous with living colour,
Dawn sprinkles it with tears in the morning glow:
Grace lies in all its petals, and love, I know,
Scenting the trees and
scenting
the garden's bower,
But, assaulted by scorching heat or a shower,
Languishing, it dies, and petals on petals flow.

And, as the lava

Spoilt all her silver mail, and golden brede;
Made gloom of all her frecklings, streaks and bars,
Eclips'd her crescents, and lick'd up her stars:

Heave with red lambrequins,

Weave and interweave in the merciless glare of noon.
