I said it again: Come with me, as if I were dying, and no one saw the moon that bled in my mouth
or the blood that rose into the silence. O Love, now we can forget the star that has such thorns!
That is why, when I heard your voice repeat Come with me, it was as if you had let loose
the grief, the love, the fury of a cork-trapped wine. that geysers flooding from deep in its vault:
in my mouth I felt the taste of fire again, of blood and carnations, of rock and scald.

Come with me, I said, and no one knew where, or how my pain throbbed
no carnations or barcaroles for me, only a wound that love had opened.
