love poem

by Richard Trotter

Lace and shallow pools
in the finest of crypts
withered by lines unborn
suggest a false tomorrow.

Yet if her naked hand
was placed on my angry leg,
drinking her pallid tears
are we simply rearranging
pain, like the morning cleaner
upon the city steps?

Brilliant expression: are we simply rearranging pain, like the morning cleaner upon the city steps?

I almost feel as though I'm looking at cold, grey marble steps where the lovers once sat... melancholy, this.
