Post-Modern Love



When Katusha met her Uzzi in the spring,
where waters simmer and the sun ignites,
and all their motions made the mountains sing
of summer madness, white explosive nights,
she flew to him in sudden urges, kissed
the petals of his brow, and promised life;
and, when all fired with passion, Uzzi missed
the tremors of her lips, he took a knife
to carve initials in the sky and fling
ecstatic numbers on her hair, as lights
adorn the river filled with stars and ring
the beauty of her eyes with wishes.  Rites
unfold of love controlled in bloody mist

where body-parts lose power to resist.
