Love Poem

I am not ready for dark    dear friend    I shout    and we walk

underground    a tiny city roars over    a tiny city below    and

it is hard to say this    I am dead tonight    I had been practicing

walking light    and slow    through a museum    the imaginary

groves    and turning to love you    rough like a clever boy but I

am dead tonight    friend    O kill me I am dead
