I STAYED WITH YOU

American Pastoral at Gagosian

I stayed with you

but my poem was in-between.

You were as red as the heavens.

I reposed in green.

My own green happiness smiled,

my lakes had pleasant thoughts;

you saw my calm happiness

as I lay by your side.

You had but a limited time to thrill

with the sensuality—

the sunrise painted the hill

but the words were mine.

Over the music I heard your voice

excited by the wine.

In the morning, I took everything.

The poem made you jealous.

When I tried to sing,

You derided.

Conspiracy of thought! World divided!
