I. Come
Come,
here’s my hand:
with my warmth
I melt your frost.
Too long I’ve kept
in my soul’s depths-
these useless cents.
II. From Meeting to Parting 1:51
From meeting
to parting,
from leave-taking
to awaiting
-that was my woman’s lot.
III. Supplication 2:41
Merciful ones, forgive me
this woman’s weakness,
that I so loved
this holy fool.
IV. Allow Me 4:09
Allow me
to touch you;
to melt, to dissolve in you.
V. Counting-Out Rhyme 5:10
Here and there I picked and chose
till all my chances slipped away
and I was left here with this love so
ragged and tattered, torn
and frayed.
VI. Dream 6:20
Every night, the same dream:
I beg you to come near,
You approach-
I push you away.
VII. Rondo 8:05
I said: it cannot be,
I said: it will pass,
I said, I said...
Beyond the mist of days,
the purple dawn cannot be seen,
nor can the pain of parting
beyond the moment’s bliss.
Bliss we had,
a parting too.
I said: it cannot be,
I said: it will pass,
I said, I said...
VIII. Nakedness 11:30
I cover my soul
with a fig-leaf
and flee paradise.
IX. Hurdy-Gurdy Waltz 11:55
Even in the rush-hour
the tramcar of my soul
cheerfully rolls along.
X. Tale 12:53
I wanted you to see me
like some goddess in the glory
of the starry sky:
but then I opened the door
XI. Again 14:18
I’m waiting for you again,
How slowly comes
tomorrow.
XII. Sundays 15:30
That’s another
Sunday over.
That means
The next will come.
XIII. Visit 16:51
In a cold blanket of snow
a visitor called: sorrow.
XIV. True Story 18:27
The love
conceived
amid
the haste
of Spring
is dying.
But in your garden
grows
the grass
of oblivion.
XV. Epilogue 20:10
From meeting
to parting,
from leave-taking
to awaiting
-that was my woman’s lot.
