for Juliette
for Juliette
the love I felt for you
waned as my lust waned
looking at you standing naked
at the sunlight window
throwing baguette crumbs
to feed the pigeons
(sometimes that squirrel)
I want to tell you
it’s all gone stale
but you are singing
a soft song from
your home in the Auvergne
walking to the bed
coquettish like Delilah
offering your self for love
and my mouth is stopped

must have been a very clever narcissist this woman, feeding small creatures, sunlight, nakedness and coquettish – twas a very sensual and intellectual trap. I may be wrong
No interpretation is wrong – nor right – I saw her as an innocent – naively expecting the man to love her as she loved him. It’s great when a short piece finds so many (unintended) possibilities. 🙂
just re-read it and yours might be the proper reading 🙂
