When a man is in love
how can he use old words?
Should a woman
desiring her lover
lie down with
grammarians and linguists?

I said nothing
to the woman I loved
but gathered
love's adjectives into a suitcase
and fled from all languages.

My uncle gave me a CD with someone singing all of his poems. I think the singer's name was Kadim el Saher or something like that? I wish I could read his poems in the language they were written in.
