When We
Dissever
What hast
thou gotten
Besides
that stinking and rotten
Corpse?
That lifeless body
Which those
days, those gaudy
Days, like
the gentle fly,
Make it so
ravishing and putrefied!
When thou
becomest like this dove,
Remember
that thou still hast my love!
And though
parted by our two addled carrion,
We have to
recall to carry on
With our
souls enclosed by the vultures,
With our
minds filled with torment and culture!
