A sleepless night

An unexpected Sunday meeting
does not go out of my head…
Your voice has hastened the heart’s beating,
my Lovely Beast. I was so glad
to see you once again at sunset.
Bright rays were sliding up the edges
of your strong body. You looked crumpled
and quite exhausted. My heart’s clenched
out of pity. I so wanted
to put my arms round your neck,
to kiss your face… The meeting promised
a sleepless night in a cold bed…
The longest night… I squeezed a pillow
like it was you. I sank my face
into soft cloth. Wind brought through windows
a faint sweet toxic linden smell…
