John Yau

Ill-Advised Love Poem

Come live with me
And we will sit
 
Upon the rocks
By shallow rivers
 
Come live with me
And we will plant acorns
 
In each other’s mouth
It would be our way
 
Of greeting the earth
Before it shoves us
 
Back into the snow
Our interior cavities
 
Brimming with
Disagreeable substances
 
Come live with me
Before winter stops
 
To use the only pillow
The sky ever sleeps on
 
Our interior cavities
Brimming with snow
 
Come live with me
Before spring
 
Swallows the air
And birds sing
