Ash falls on the roof	A
of my house	B
	-
I have cursed you enough	C
in the lines of my poems	D
between them	E
in the silences which fall	F
like ash flakes	G
on the watertank	H
from a smog bound sky	H
	-
I have cursed you	I
because I remember	J
the smell of Joy	K
on a sealskin coat	L
because I feel	M
more abandoned than a baby seal	M
on an ice floe red	N
with it's mother's blood	O
	-
I have cursed you	I
as I walked prayed	P
on a concrete terrace	Q
high above the street	R
because whatever I pulled down	S
with my bruised hand	T
from the bruising sky	H
whatever lovely plum	U
came to my mouth	V
you envied	W
spat out	X
	-
Because you saw me in your image	Y
because you favored me	Z
you punished me	Z
	-
It was only a form of you	I
my poems were seeking	H
Neither of us knew	I
	-
For years	A2
we lived together in a single skin	B2
	-
We shared fur coats	C2
We hated each other	J
as the soul hates the body	Z
for being weak	H
as the mind hates the stomach	D2
for needing food	E2
as one lover hates the other	J
	-
I kicked	F2
in the pouch of your theories	G2
like a baby kangaroo	I
	-
I believed you	I
on Marx on Darwin	B2
on Tolstoy Shaw	H2
I said I loved Pushkin	B2
you loved him	I2
I vowed Monet	J2
was better than Bosch	K2
	-
Who cared	L2
	-
I would have said nonsense	M2
to please you	I
frequently did	N2
	-
This took the form	O2
of course	P2
of fighting you	I
	-
We fought so gorgeously	M
	-
We fought like one boxer	J
his punching bag	H
We fought like mismatched twins	Q2
We fought like the secret sharer	J
his shade	P
	-
Now we're apart	R2
Time doesn't heal	M
the baby to the womb	S2
Separateness is real	M
keeps on growing	H
	-
One by one the mothers	T2
dropp away	J2
the lovers leave	U2
the babies outgrow clothes	V2
	-
Some get insomnia	W2
the poet's disease	G2
sit up nights	X2
nursing	H
at the nipples	Y2
of their pens	Z2
	-
I have made hot milk	H
kissed you where you are	A3
I have cursed my curses	B3
I have cleared the air	C3
now I sit here writing	H
breathing you	I
