en mi cielo al crepúsculo eres como una nube
Pablo Neruda
In my sky at twilight you are like a cloud
the bloody blot on the landscape of how
at the going down of yet another sun
I am bound to remember
nebulous drifts of our begetting
adrenalin of missed beat, whipped cream
apassionata and F minor finale when nimbus
drowned the foetid love rat
yes we have grown old - and apart
separately decaying to the very marrow
line upon line, a limp, sans the sensual sense
of catch-as-catch-can
and how we caught fire
my rogue capture, your tender trap
a muse, always there had to be amusement
til it turned silly and sour in the hollow depths
at dawn you're the dusty mote of memories
the nightly prod to wakefulness from wishes
unfulfilled, like the wasted hours,
like a cloud in my sky at twilight
