greatpoetryI heard of a man
who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name
women give themselves to him.
If I am dumb beside your body
while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips
it is because I hear a man climb stairs
and clear his throat outside our door.
Leonard Cohen

it before as well but
posted 'the only poem'
instead, this being some
time ago. Still, this one
you posted creates such a
striking visual that I feel
as though I am a witness to
the scene, holding my breath
at the sound of footsteps
outside the door...
