English.png English text

Ibycus can’t hear cranes.
Neither can I hear your words
when I am silenced by thoughts of you.
Sometimes your young laughter
basks on laurelled mountains
and I remember many nights spent in silence
under the warmth of hurdling stars.
I cannot bear to listen to the frail words you speak.
To touch you is to touch Dryope.
I cannot abide you.
I am too full of your wondrous heart.
