A poem of regression




  Needs

If you listen for a moment,
I can tell you all I need,
Winter’s almost over,
Love begins to bleed,
Piece by piece I am pretending,
Up ahead I am no more,
No lantern could find me,
Nor pilot nor oar,
This dismay - supposing
- That dismay it is,
Ballets in the scrap-yard,
Allays the kiss,
I father in my faith,
I falter in my oaths,
I need a shot of decent
Rot, the taste of home,
