From Deceit
Why am I not the ground
that receives my sleeper
to her sleep in the beautiful night,
the ground that guards love?
Why am I not the breeze
stroking over her belly,
under her feet the field
and the whisper in her mouth?
Why am I not the waves
that she receives in her lap?
Why am I not the gleaming necklace
she hangs around her neck?
Why am I not the mirror
that shows her beautiful face,
that tilts her eyes against
this seal of her grandeur?
Why am I not the lute
over which her fingers whir?
The trusted voice that stirs my heart
sings tenderly to me.
At only a pluck of this beautiful one
would take me immediately away
and all my strings would sound
with each other in unison.
Why am I not the spindel?
I could always stay by her
and in a sweet spiral
her hand would spin me.
Why am I not the distaff
that she wets with her mouth?
I would never be sere and dry;
I would be happy and healthy.
Why can I not take her heart
in the flight of a dream?
Why can I not transcend deceit
into the truth?
But Earthly ambition
puffed out my chest too proudly,
since I want to become everything,
everything that pleases her.
since I want to become everything,
everything that pleases her.
