Cities and Sieges

After the brief siege ended, 
and the city was laid open at his feet, walls fallen apart like scruples, maybe he thought:



‘I don’t want you to be my first girl,

But my last.

I’ll walk away from your eyes,

And feed you silences.


Because the time is not ripe, 

I will put up fences in the water

To separate

And dams

To hold

My expansive heart.



[ You and I 

Inevitable as thunder

Follows lightning]



I will build, with concrete

Walls that cut through

Olive groves and piazzas

And I will

Contain you.’



Somewhere in between, endless summer, 2014

Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asis, July 2014



Love after Love


The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.



Derek Walcott
