from my book THE LIGHTS AT MY TEMPLE

B O L E R O

Do not pressure me
Do not ask of me more than I can give
Do not box me in
or give me a schedule
     or limits.

Do not complicate me
with doubts
    or questions.
Do not drain my calm.
Do not trespass my borders.

There is a neutral point
where we can meet

and there I will love you
   love you
   love you.

Translated by Fiona Griffin. From the original LAS LUCES EN LA SIEN, 1993.
