When I return,
It will be with another man’s clothes

My coming will be unexpected
If you look at me unbelieving, and say “You are not He”
I will show you signs and you will believe me
I will tell you about the lemon tree in your garden
The corner window that lets in the moonlight
And then signs of the body, signs of love
And as we climb, trembling, to our old room
Between one embrace and the next
Between lovers’ calls
I will tell you about the journey all the night long
And in all the nights to come, between one embrace and the next
Between lovers’ calls
A whole human adventure
The story that never ends.
