Poem by a Poet

Regresso a Cohen

Regresso a Cohen.
Regresso às suas palavras cantadas
aos seus dias de amor e ódio.
Simplesmente. Regresso.
Regresso 30 de julho.

"I almost went to bed
without remembering
the four white violets
I put in the button-hole
of your green sweater
and how I kissed you then
and you kissede me
shy as though I'd
never been your lover"
