I have filled your house with smoke
Cannot bring myself to pack
Knowing that life and death
Are given by the smallest things
What is the point of hiding it:
I cannot leave you, though my body
Must be subject to rails and boats,
To the schedules of men.
If I cannot find the paradise
Where these do not apply
Even in your heart,
If we only talk about it
The world is still marked
By my need for it.
