Le baiser de la fee

If I listen and listen

Carefully to your despair,

I wonder, will you listen

To mine or anyone’s but

Yours? Oh, I wish we were so

Able to break our circles,

That even though, even though

We must be tied to bodies,

Parasites of words,

We could forgive each other

And always absorb despair.

The supernatural kiss

Themselves bestow us

Should open our ears to care.
