Monsieur Rien, LaCroix

c. 1995
e.m. hall


Seething, seething through these bleeding eyes,
wide despite my blindness, wide white,
eye teeth and shy smile,
I have heard of this,
this night

Striped across my breast are counts,
the sound of the mounting moon,
rune chance and fool love,
boughten blight?
doubtless

Strained distress, weep stained my dress,
your hard face and stride high,
relentless, forgetfulness,
opium pressed,
wet

Was all I wanted left in that earthy, starlit bed,
plucked, taken, sap sorrow bled,
sweetly salted and saved yet,
scented always for you,
saviour, harvester,
deserter, preserver,
weak, cheap
death.
