RAVEN'S MONOLOGUE

The dove, I think, is more suited
To do that errand, to bring back news
In her small, weary beak
Already thickened into a symbol:
A twig of hope for the painter
Who's making the peace poster.
That's why I chose absence
Now that the water gates of heaven,
The fountains of the abyss,
Are shut off. I chose a clear mind.
Before me, the Flood.
On my dark wing I bear the sun,
Severely mind my own business,
Expertly peck in the mud
The sinner's eyes. And caw.
They'll paint me on coats of arms,
Standing in the snow
Black like a letter.
They'll teach me to say Nevermore.
I'll be famous. The dove, however,
Seems to be made for this job.
In her image let hope grow feathers
So that in mine, horror may preen its image.

~Ivan V. Lalic

Physics

Love floods the tree of
our blood like a sap
and distills its strange odor from
the seed of our physical ravishment:
the sea enters us utterly
and the ravenous night,
the soul veers out of plumb, and within you
two bells sound in the bone
and nothing remains but your body's
weight on my own, another time spent.

~Neruda

Once

Once embraced, can't ever be let go
Once revealed, can't ever be not shown
Once believed, can't ever lose faith
Once shared, can't ever be separate
Once sown, once can't ever be not reaped
Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
Well, I can feel it inside of me
Feel it. Can you feel it?

Once born, can't ever be not conceived
Once present, can't ever be past
Once first, once can't ever be not everlast

Returning home of the prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it. Can you believe it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-oh-oh, can you tell me?

Once seen, can't ever lose sight
Once dawn, can't ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can't ever be untouched

The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it's greater than everything
See it, oh can you see it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh really, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-ooh-oh oh, can you tell me?
Have you ever really touched love once?
