Virgil's Valentine

Keep the sacrifice fat
but the muse slender
close the clearings
in the woods
set bounds to love
stand the sea
wind-becalmed
be black be blond
be mad to leave me
keep them for me
all my sentences
that end
with your name
there take it
the reed pipe
why should I
speak of him
from that day?
