Marry me

One sees him creeping about the church
since a year’s time he is alone
The grief took all sense from him
he sleeps every night beside her stone
 
There by the bells sleeps a stone
and I alone can read it
and on the fence the red cock
that has been your heart for a time
 
The fear on this fence impaled,
I go now to dig every night
to see what is still remaining
of the face that laughed for me
 
There by the bells I am spending the night
there between snails a lonely animal
In the daytime I run behind the night
for the second time you escape me
 
Marry me
 
With my hands I dig deep
to find what I am missing so
and as the moon in the most beautiful dress
has kissed your cold mouth
 
I take you tenderly in my arms
but your skin tears like paper
and pieces fall from you
for the second time you escape me
 
Marry me
 
So I take what still remains
The night is hot and we are naked
To curse the cock that greets the morning
I have his head hacked off
