Crimson Moonlove Ballad

To Florbela Espanca

heart debris

blue light orange houses

portuguese

wife

wanders thru the mind-tele

and trousers

there was so little left to say

i must've stay'd

in utter silence.

bitter vogue

and loneliness

& lack of sense

or frightfulness

green light

dark life

blue roses

portuguese verses from

a non-pregnant wife

a strange postal scene

of lillies fading o'er the earth like snow

white-bright

to male cry and wander angel feather'd

moonlight pale

strange engagement

beautiful sad derrangement

love's unlucky shadow'd pavement

sounds of sorrow, pity,

wails.

trails

of loves and so-longs

solo

pictures of patriotic men gone

poems & chocolate

peace songs.

love, love, love, love, love!

countryside wild lyrical

Beauty's mistery keyholder dove.

grass fields and corn winds

thru Portugal's sails

alas! we wail

we miss you

since we knew

your deep bleak eyes.

don't leave

my curtains now, Florbela.
