Beatrice Waking At Night...
To a watchful moon, and the blood
of first azaleas after sudden
snow in April, and sleep in the lighted
darkness between her breasts among
the scent of green lemons. No dreams
except those of children lost among
dreaming of other older nights, no
home either - just the silence of
his eyes and deep breathing that she
is a witness to, and this waiting for
words that he doesn't say, this man,
strange and unknown, sometimes even
in the tenderest of speech.
