Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFGHIJKJJEJJLJE JJJMJJNJJJOPQRJSJTFJ UGVWEXYEVTZA2B2JEC2E D2GE2JVNYNLF2TTEB2Every morning you wait | A |
clothes over a chair | B |
to fill yourself with | C |
my vanity my love | D |
my hope my body | E |
Barely | E |
risen from sleep | F |
I relinquish the water | G |
enter your sleeves | H |
my legs look for | I |
the hollows of your legs | J |
and so embraced | K |
by your indefatigable faithfulness | J |
I rise to tread the grass | J |
enter poetry | E |
consider through the windows | J |
the things | J |
the men the women | L |
the deeds and the fights | J |
go on forming me | E |
go on making me face things | J |
working my hands | J |
opening my eyes | J |
using my mouth | M |
and so | J |
clothes | J |
I too go forming you | N |
extending your elbows | J |
snapping your threads | J |
and so your life expands | J |
in the image of my life | O |
In the wind | P |
you billow and snap | Q |
as if you were my soul | R |
at bad times | J |
you cling | S |
to my bones | J |
vacant for the night | T |
darkness sleep | F |
populate with their phantoms | J |
your wings and mine | U |
I wonder | G |
if one day | V |
a bullet | W |
from the enemy | E |
will leave you stained with my blood | X |
and then | Y |
you will die with me | E |
or one day | V |
not quite | T |
so dramatic | Z |
but simple | A2 |
you will fall ill | B2 |
clothes | J |
with me | E |
grow old | C2 |
with me with my body | E |
and joined | D2 |
we will enter | G |
the earth | E2 |
Because of this | J |
each day | V |
I greet you | N |
with reverence and then | Y |
you embrace me and I forget you | N |
because we are one | L |
and we will go on | F2 |
facing the wind in the night | T |
the streets or the fight | T |
a single body | E |
one day one day some day still | B2 |
