THREE LOVE POEMS: 3, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: That's it -- I love that fawn
Subject(s): Jews; Love; Mysticism - Judaism; Judaism


that's it -- I love that fawn
plucking roses from
your garden --
you can put the blame on me
but if you once looked at my lover
with your eyes
your lovers would be hunting you
& you'd be gone
that boy who told me: pass
some honey from your hive
I answered: give me some back
on your tongue
& he got angry, yelled:
shall we two sin against the living God?
I answered: let your sin,
sweet master, be with me
