Show me how to be precious,
desperate, devious, hysterical,
быть восхитительно бешеной, –
woven between these lines
of some heretic simplicity
my overzealous mind
never could fully grasp.
Your intricate pattern:
this subtly feline
– indescribable –
line of your silhouette,
perfectly filling space,
maddens me out of my wits.
This delicate subtlety of
– ! your exclamation marks ! –
hidden
from unaware eyes,
bent to still question marks
over my pertinent fear
mixed with this stubborn anger,
spiced with unfulfilled longing,
drenched in endless coffee.
See me with those eyes of yours, –
the eyes of the Other –
see yourself in dissimilarity,
for I, too,
recognise
myself
– this new me –
in your eyes only.
