Prelude to a Memory

I love the thought of love
so that it pains
opens in my chest a hollow space
and a wind at my throat.

I wail though I cannot wail
so that I swallow
and only taste regrets
a rosehip wine with an endless stem.

She cries to the red star
so that her words are lost
in breath of
midnight
I mistook them for my own.


I'm in love with a storybook
but cannot find my looking-glass.
