STRAIGHT
after Wittgenstein
At the end of reason comes persuasion
At the end of persuasion
oblivion and the inability to say
whatever I was meant to answer
I planned to allow those men their faults
Of course they forget our meetings
because we are lovers
and because they are married
Out of the scrub brush
one after another emerges insisting
he seeks aught but my happiness (typewritten
thought after typewritten thought)
Though they dream and they say
out loud that they’re dreaming
and further in their dreams
that it’s raining and we’re lovers
still they remain in error
though we are in fact entwined
by certain accords and their dreams
connected with the sound of the rain
