And his dark secret love	A
Does thy life destroy	B
William Blake	C
	-
Because I would not admit	D
that I had nurtured	E
an enemy within my breast	F
	-
a lover who wanted to gnaw	G
my secret rose	H
a lover who wanted to press me	I
between the covers of a book	J
then burn it	D
a lover usurper who wanted	K
to take my soul	L
	-
I nearly died	M
running my car upon rocks	N
like a badly steered sloop	O
crashing into trees	P
like a hurricane gale	Q
burning my arms in ovens	R
when I thought I was only	I
baking bread	S
	-
To admit the betrayal	T
was worse than	U
the fact of betrayal	T
for I loved him	V
as leaves love sun	W
turning my face to him	V
turning my hips my womb	X
to be filled with a dream	Y
of children a dream of books	Z
babies sprouting like leaves	A2
from a spring tree	I
a dream of trees that leaked blood	K
instead of sap	B2
	-
The dream s the thing	C2
the dream we die for	D2
turning our faces to the sun	W
eyes closed never seeing it has	E2
gone out	F2
dead star it blazes coldly	I
over a dead planet	G2
while we bask in its afterglow	H2
now remembered in the mind	I2
	-
He was fond	J2
of stars telescopes	K2
fond of machines fond	J2
of building the most complex	L2
contraptions	R
to scale the clouds	M2
But Icarus flies	N2
near the sun with waxen wings	O2
does not think of gears	P2
or motors	Q2
	-
Trees rise up at him	V
as he falls the earth	R2
rushes to meet him	V
like a lover	S2
raising her writhing hips	T2
the wings weep their waxy tears	U2
fall apart	V2
the sun is hot	W2
on his face	X2
	-
But even as he falls	Y2
he is in ecstasy	I
his sun has not	W2
gone out	F2
