Scritta da: Silvana Stremiz
The grave my little cottage is,
Where "Keeping house" for thee
I make my parlor orderly
And lay the marble tea.
For two divided, briefly,
A cycle, it may be,
Till everlasting life unite
In strong society.

Scritta da: Silvana Stremiz
The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear;
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.
And then, that we have followed them,
We more than half suspect,
So intimate have we become
With their dear retrospect.

That it will never come again
Is what makes life so sweet.
Believing what we dont believe
Does not exhilarate.
That if it be, it be at best
An ablative estate -
This instigates an appetite
Precisely opposite.

Sweet is the swamp with it's secrets,
Until we meet a snake;
'Tis then we sigh for houses,
And our departure take
At that enthralling gallop
That only childhood knows.
A snake is nature's treason,
And awe is where it goes.

Some say good night - at night -
I say good night by day -
Good bye - the Going utter me -
Good night, I still reply -
For parting, that is night,
And presence, simply dawn -
Itself, the purple on the hight
Denominated morn.

Softened by Time's consummate plush,
How sleek the woe appears
That threatened childhood's citadel
And undermined the years.
Bisected now, by bleaker griefs,
We envy the despair
That devastated childhood's realm,
So easy to repair.

Rearrange a "Wife's" Affection!
When they dislocate my Brain!
Amputate my freckled Bosom!
Make me bearded like a man!
Blush, my spirit, in thy Fastness -
Blush, my unacknowledged clay -
Seven years of troth have taught thee
More than Wifehood every may!
Love that never leaped it's socket -
Trust intrenched in narrow pain -
Constancy thro' fire - awarded -
Anguish - bare of anodyne!
Burden - borne so far triumphant -
None suspect me of the crown,
For I wear the "Thorns" till Sunset -
Then - my Diadem put on.
Big my Secret but it's bandaged -
It will never get away
Till the Day it's Weary Keeper
Leads it through the Grave to thee.

Proud of my broken heart, since thou didn't break it,
Proud of the pain I did not feel till thee,
Proud of my night, since thou with moons dost slake it,
Not to partake thy passion, my humility.
Thou can't not boast, like Jesus, drunken without companion
Was the strong cup of anguish brewed for the Nazarene
Thou can't not pierce tradition with the peerless puncture,
See! I usurped thy crucifix to honor mine!

One crown that no one seeks
And yet the highest head
It's isolation coveted
It's stigma deified
While Pontius Pilate lives
In whatsoever hell
That coronation pierces him
He recollects it well.

Oh, honey of an hour,
I never knew thy power,
Prohibit me
Till my minutest dower,
My unfrequented flower
Deserving be.
