you	E2

At night the wind carries the cries of men	Y
across the open seas	M4
At night there is danger still in straying	O
across the open seas	M4
This field unplowed for six years	X2
still bears the tracks of tank treads	S4
This winter the snow will cover	E2
these untouched tracks of tank treads	S4

so that the merchants of sweat can close	T4
with profits	U4
But those who have returned from Azrail's feast	V4
have returned with their decisions made	W4

I've become unbearable again	Y
sleepless petty cross	X4
You can see	E2
I'm working one day	T
like a blasphemous shrew	E2
like a raging animal	H2
And then	Y
I'm on my back the next day	T
from morning to evening	O
a lazy folksong in my mouth	Y4
like a cigarette that has gone out	L3
The hate	S2
and the pity I feel for myself	C4
hold me totally in their grasp	Z4
I've become unbearable again	Y
sleepless petty cross	X4
As always I'm unfair	E2

You were sitting at my feet	B3
You raised your head turned
Your enormous golden eyes to me	E2
And asked a question	B
Your wet lips opened and closed
But I didn't hear your voice	F4
The hour struck as though somewhere	E2
There was good news in the night	F2
Whispers of endlessness in the air	E2
My canary in its red cage
Singing the Song of Memo
The small cracking sounds of seeds
Pushing and lifting the earth	S3
And the just and triumphant humming	O
Of some gathering comes to my ear	E2
Your wet lips still opened and closed
But I didn't hear your voice	F4
I awoke in a nervous uncertainty	E2
I had fallen asleep over my book it seems
But I am wondering now	Y2
Whether all those voices were not your voice	F4

Looking in your eyes	O2
I am drunk with the smell of warm earth	S3
lost in a wheat field among the stalks
Your eyes	O2
are like an eternal substance changing endlessly	E2
pits without bottom with flashes of green
whose secret is given up a little each day	T
but never completely surrendered
