I'm not here to repair the world.
No one here's here for much, except
perhaps these high windows boasting sky.
My friend says love is easier the less
you know a person. The more you know
the less you love. I say love's
an exhausted word, used for everything.
I turn the tap on, cold, the stream smooth,
and I can't remember why in Hell
I should turn it off.
Doesn't language get tired?
Doesn't it get sick of
lulling us into believing
all the **** we say? In the Prater a willow dips herself
into water and stirs her own image, and
in the lake her leaves refract, refuse to repair.
Isn't love also the kind of cruelty
you give to someone because you can't hold
all that cruelty in your own hands?
All I know's I'm overflowing.
All I know's I'm overflowing and I'm not sure
how much of me the world can hold.
