hey so this is new

Lucien

I

Ah! Now I see!

I'm awake now
I really don't know how
I got here
I've been away for at least a few hundred years.

II

There's a spot kindling
of concentrated light
at about the height
of your head compared to mine.
It's just you
with poems on your arms
and a novel on your lips
that I want to eat.

III

Let it linger
like strawberry juice,
a sweet stain,
an ambrosial memorial
to something not lost but hidden,
kept at bay.

I make love to you when you're away.
