[00:23.07] Lacking sleep and food and vision
[00:26.46] Here I am again, encamped upon your floor,
[00:33.21] Craving sanctuary and nourishment,
[00:36.39] Encouragement and sanctity and more.
[00:42.58] The streets seemed very crowded,
[00:45.52] I put on my bravest guise
[00:48.16] I know you know that I am acting,
[00:51.02] I can see it in your eyes.
[01:02.82] In the harsh light of freedom I know
[01:04.69] That I cannot deny that I have wasted time,
[01:08.18] Have frittered it away in idle boasts
[01:13.40] Of my freedom and fidelity,
[01:16.94] When simpler words would have profited me
[01:19.52] Most...
[01:21.74] ...it isn't enough in the end, when I'm looking
[01:24.50] For hope.
[01:28.45] Though the organ-monkey screams
[01:34.20] As the pipes begin to spit
[01:39.59] Still he'll go through the dance routines
[01:45.00] Just as long as he thinks they'll fit,
[01:49.50] Just as long as he knows that it's dance, smile
[01:52.01] Or quit.
[01:56.80] Like the monkey I dance to a strange tune
[01:59.46] When all of these years I've longed to lie with you,
[02:02.37] I've bogged myself down in the web of talk,
[02:07.79] Quack philosophy and sophistry-
[02:11.03] At physiciality I've always baulked,
[02:16.13] Like the man in the chair who believes it's
[02:18.76] Beyond him to walk.
[02:24.53] I've been hiding behind words,
[02:26.80] Fearing a deeper flame exists,
[02:29.76] Faintly aware of the passage
[02:32.53] Of opportunities I have missed.
[02:39.40] But the nearness and the smell of you,
[02:45.01] La Rossa from head to toe...
[02:50.41] I don't know what I'm telling you,
[02:55.60] But I think you ought to know
[03:00.46] Soon the dam wall will break, soon the water
[03:02.85] Will flow.
[03:06.54] Though the organ-monkey groans
[03:11.75] As the organ-grinder plays
[03:17.17] He's hoping, at the most,
[03:22.36] For an end to his dancing days;
[03:27.86] Still he hops up and down on his perch
[03:33.75] In the usual jerky way.
[03:38.77] Though it might mean an end to all friendship
[03:43.69] There's something I'm working up to say.
[03:51.27] Think of me what you will;
[03:57.67] I know that you think you feel my pain
[04:04.04] No matter if that's just the surface.
[04:20.54] If we made love now would that change all
[04:27.60] That ahs gone before?
[04:33.62] Of course it would, there's no way it could ever
[04:36.53] Be the same...
[04:41.47] One more line crossed,
[04:47.82] One more mystery explained.
[04:56.51] Now I need more than just words, though
[05:03.29] The options are plain that lead from all
[05:09.29] Momentary action.
[05:24.13] If we make love now it will change all
[05:31.30] That is yet to be...
[05:37.23] Never could we agree in the same way again.
[05:45.05] One more world lost,
[05:51.34] One more heaven gained.
[06:44.36] La Rossa, you know me, you read me as though
[06:47.44] I am glass;
[06:48.10] Though I know it there's no no way in which I can
[06:50.19] Pass
[06:50.67] Though it means that you'll finish my story
[06:52.85] At last I'd trade all the clever talk,
[06:55.45] The joking, the smoking and the quips,
[07:00.23] All the midnight conversations, all the friendship,
[07:04.79] All the words and all the trips
[07:08.51] For the warmth of your body,
[07:10.29] The more vivid touch of your lips.
[07:14.80] All bridges burning behind me,
[07:20.37] All safety beyond reach,
[07:25.21] The monkey feels his chains out blindly,
[07:30.81] Only to find himself released.
[07:37.64] Take me, take me now and hold me deep
[07:41.29] Inside your ocean body,
[07:43.43] Wash me as some flotsam to the shore,
[07:46.73] There leave me lying evermore!
[07:54.07] Drown me, drown me now and hold me down
[07:57.35] Before your naked hunger,
[07:59.49] Burn me at the altar of the night
[08:03.99] Give me life!
[08:14.41] Give me life!
