The nameless voyage
James Laughlin
(1914-1997)
(1914-1997)
Where does she go
when she closes her eyes
when we are making love?
She is there by my side
yet she isn't there
If I touch her she trembles
but says nothing
One night I asked her
where it was she travelled
This time she smiled and
answered don't be worried
I'll never be far from you
The land which I visit
is the land of the poems
when she closes her eyes
when we are making love?
She is there by my side
yet she isn't there
If I touch her she trembles
but says nothing
One night I asked her
where it was she travelled
This time she smiled and
answered don't be worried
I'll never be far from you
The land which I visit
is the land of the poems
you have written for me.
