And the day will come
When you wake up
With a fork that blossoms in your heart.
---
A fork slides
Along your mind
Until it meets its paradise
---
And earth and sky
Will look at your fork
As if at a thunder that severs the world.
---
A landslide, an avalanche
Are kept from moving down
By the hooks that are my eyes.
---
My hook keeps her
From disappearing
My fork draws her on a fog yet to come.
---
My body stinks
My hook radiates
My heart emits bright dark cries.
---
Of course it fits:
Your heart, your hits
The dream that twists you then quits.
---
Your heart, amid the fire,
Thinks it's a happy squire
Doesn't know it's a clown who burns himself.
---
Among the scattered ashes
Which had once been my heart
You can still find a splinter of smile.
---
The slips of your heart
The slides of your soul:
The knife and fork that slice you into songs.
