Carmen 15

I smile foxlike, my fingers in your hair,

And I ask you impossible questions.

You were bent like the light; for no longer,

I have fallen to the depths looking for your star.


Floating down, I make my one cruel demand,

To have your memories before I die.


In wonder you find an awful whisper

And you tell me of how you fell in love.

I wonder how it could happen. You say,

“With your hands around my throat.” I find your lips.
