pola :: higher than
A love beyond love
higher than the ritual of bonding
beyond the sinister game
of solitude and company
A love that need not return
or leave
A love free of the hectict
come and go
awake or asleep
called for or silenced
A love to be together
or not
and for all other intermediate states
A love that would be like opening our eyes
or closing them.
Roberto Juarroz
Vertical Poetry 1980
