I never noticed before
How the red flowers hang from the blue branches
I never noticed before the light in this room
I never noticed the way the air is cool again
I never noticed anything but you
But you but you
So that I couldn’t sleep
I never noticed what was anything but you
Until I noticed you
And could not help it
Until I noticed you I could not help it
Until you made the red flowers alive again
Until the blue branches
The lemons you loved, but also the way you loved me, too
Until all of this I never noticed you
But once I did
Please tell me that I was a good child
And that I did everything right
And that the atmosphere was exactly certain
I want you to love me
In ways that you never have
So that I become a forgotten world
With rainbow sunrises over dark green trees
And the cooling of the day
The bee died upon entering the water
What happened to his honey no one knew
I left one fig and one kumquat
In each dish for the host
There were the yellow trunks of trees
The memory of Spain
There was the memory of being
The memory of love
Let the water take you in
So your neck is just a stalk, the head blooms
Let everything go away
You are a person
Be a person
Become a person again
The happiest he ever made me
The table in white
Whereupon we list the white seashore
The White Sea, the white seahorses
