Let The Letter Read You

Why stay so long where your words are scattered

And doing no good. I've sent a letter a day

For a hundred days. Either you don't read the mail,

Or you've forgotten how to leave.

Let the letter read you. Come back.

No one understands who you are in that prison

For the stonefaced. You've escaped,

But still you sit there like a falcon

On the window ledge. You are both water

And stream, but you think you need something

To drink like a lion or a deer.

How far is it? How far is the light of the moon

From the moon? How far is the taste of the candy

From the lips? Every second you give away light.

We accept. We like this market.

Your love is a sweet poison we ear from your hand

To dissolve and drain away the ego life

Now spraying this fountain from us.
