Love Poem: Duplex

Duplex

Ethics May Wait

I then 
Knew not
That the 
Dry earth
Looked for
Some dew
From you
In her
Void sky

Please go
Fill her
Window
Make her
Drum beats
Quicker

Churn her
All ice
For the 
Fond rise
Of the
Tense cloud
To burst
In rains
On hills
And plains

She has
Cancer
Will not
Linger
More than
Two months

“You say
Like this
What of
Ethics?”


Giving
Pleasure
To a 
poor soul
Near death

What else
Can be 
Greater?
