When You
Poem
Dir. Wong Kar-wai
When you,
Erase I the chart
Of things
And cancel
O'clocks and
Happenchances,
To re-
Foreknow
How gorram
Your love is
Sentient, whisked
In my every
Parcel.
When you,
Do I havoc
My lifeless fads
For one clement
Manoeuvre
Of what you
Profess
To life into me.
Your love in
My heart
Survives
When I resist
Survival and myself.
When you,
Only warmth
Of your air
Prevails
-All else is falsity.
Lenient
Intention of your
Intonation
Alone
Tames my
Nervosity.
When you,
Lay I one
Hand
On the heart,
To hold in awe
Your
Patience work:
Finesse
Of lushes abstinence
And
Nonlinearity
Of the
Smile.
When you,
Do I unleash
My toska;
Let the things
Go.
You alone
Do master this
Heart;
Unknot it
Off its sardonic
Trends,
And do to it
What August does
To
Neonate
Papaver rhoeas.
When you,
Live I when I
Cannot.
When you,
All else
Nul.
