Black Wheat, 5

Maybe love shouldn't exist

 

                        .                       .                       .

 

If we follow this notion

there is no great need

Where does it come from,

this great need?

 

                        .                       .                       .

 

If (it) is in the blood

how do they get it out?

If not,

where is it

 

If they do not allow

thought of that blood

and (it) rises

someday

to the surface,

 

Can they walk off the animal

in the yard?

Are they that

able?

 

                        .                       .                       .

 

If that blood is in them,

can they live with it

when it calls out to them?

 

                        .                       .                       .

 

They pretend not to hear it
