Tango de la Materia, No. 59

If we lived another life

The world would never change

And this to be our chamber music

Our solitary atrium

The alabaster birds

Lined finials to leap from mezzanine

Repose in photographic still

This moment

Aleatory agreement

Zimné de la Bohème

What wintertide or even breeze

Or eventide reprieve

Will shackle the silence

Vested fakes of truths

In palm trees’ paradisiac combustion

A tacit tango whose eyes

Can meet in empty grace

And not to fear

Our (native/alien) tongues are laced

With sayings sooth

And sweet too true to

(Allure/à leur/a lier)
