Love Poem: Pile of Straw

Pile of Straw

Pile of straw
Some atom or atoms of dust
There life on the terrace
Stands! 
 
There is a sad blue light 
That plays a clever game
 
There is a complete submission
To sedition --
There is a woman with
Twenty springy springs
Raucous and pouring down
On the walls of his poems! 
  
On passionate romantic nights she saw him 
Folding his knees sometimes
And resting his head between his hands
Another time. 
Seems tense, glamorous and sexy 
As the words jump around his lips 
Like a flower of a cherry tree
Her lips tremble 
Whenever she breaths in and out
She frequently repeats:
I love him 
I do not! 
Standing towering like a column of air
Clear and shiny 
Like the light of his love 
In her heart!
