Reserving my impatience for you

Obeyed nature. The Maker’s paternal force

The source of all this unstasis.

Divorced of social mores and enforced modalities

Her gorse love I am forced to grasp ungloved

I cannot catch the moray eel with my bare hands

But that is what they demand of me, the laughers on the banks.

The weight I daily lug breaks me

The books I thought became me merely remade me vaguely

In some other enveigler’s shape

Retrospect’s clarity proves my chain’s charity, it made me.
