Up there
Up there,
On the yellow bend of the parapet,
With my love will I sit,
Legs dangling down against the wall.
Red wine in crystal glass
And a red meat delicacy to devour
Laughing and talking, occasionally
Looking up, to smile at the bright moon.
Up there,
Watching
With my love I will sit.
Every balcony box
Laying bare
Its domestic thoroughfare.
We'll watch from up there -
Unwatched.
Up there,
My glass through my fingers slips!
Falling beautifully, measures a height
Of eight floors, dying with a muffled tinkle.
"Careful! Lest ye fall"
Crack your frame and let the soul slip.
"Careful! Lest I lose,
To a fall from up here."
