My Love Is Impure But Enduring

from Dark Blue by Steven Lambke

/

lyrics

Ripe cherries in the tree,
waste cherries on the ground,
red and wild cherries in between.
The branch and the blood,
the evening sky above,
my love is impure but enduring.

She lived to be a hundred,
with coffee at every hunger
until her bones hollowed
and her heart beat like a bird.
Everything’s in motion,
every atom burning,
with a love that’s impure but enduring.

Unfurl the banners.
Uncurl the ferns.
Love is impure but enduring.

A small crowd gathers
outside the café,
with coloured banners
hanging down,
and, on the sidewalk,
lilac blooming
out of season.

The sky fills with bats.
The sky fills with doves.
There below the crowd is singing.

First there’s darkness,
then light.
Love is impure but enduring.
