Love Is Like A Reservoir

The Reason A Poet Is A Poet Is To Write Poems, Not To Advertise Himself As A Poet.

I Wanted To Be Calm, Like A Mound With All Its Cities Destroyed, And Tranquil, Like A Full Cemetery.

The Memory Of My Father Is Wrapped Up In White Paper, Like Sandwiches Taken For A Day Of Work. Just As A Magician Takes Towers And Rabbits Out Of His Hat, He Drew Love From His Small Body.

And As We Stray Further From Love, We Multiply The Words. Had We Remained Together We Could Have Become A Silence.

Knowledge Of Peace Passes From Country To Country, Like Children's Games, Which Are So Much Alike, Everywhere.
