Mon Chardonneret

My goldfinch,

Whose pure skin I once knew from years past

Though only recently I have met.

I know only of your remains,

the aftermath of your rebirth,

the melted wax that is now your skin.

Once you traveled in a group of three.

These, I know, were your happiest years.

I only wish I had the courage to let you relive them.

Untitled

To your lips I wish I had touched.

Next to you I wish I could stay.

In your embrace I wish I could remain.

No longer these thing are possible.

Your pictures lay face down, where I can't see them,

Because I cannot get rid of them

But you have denounced me.

I am yours no longer.
