RENATA, HOLD THE WORLD TOGETHER


1.
love is dead
(the wind blows lonely)
but there is a return
to moonlight on the beach
where her laughter keeps thundering
across the fragile brain.

the world laughs
the sun is a fiery disc in the sky
but there is a cold cold corner

     at dawn
     morning is the beginning
     of a thousand deaths.

2.
there is order in the world:
     war, famine, thirst
death, immorality, crime against
     property, all are parts
     indivisible
     even hallucinations.

and the poet asks:
will it end in fire or ice:
i say neither

the world will end
when i no longer see myself
in your eyes
when the chain
of love snaps in two
breaking like brittle twig.
