          I know not;
          what time's become
          or what it keeps
          when long I'm gone;
          but soon around
          or soon before
          where there my heart,
          wish there, I'm for;
          but is there even
          is there a somewhere
          is there my touch,
          be never here;
          be never lost
          my words or thoughts
          or lone, I'll bore
          the poems I fought;

          how barely absent,
          when there, it's none
          for I know not
          how present's one;
          one flare of flame
          so coldly lit,
          like poet's touch
          on honor's grit;
          but bless my love
          bless my only love;
          of no resolution
          nor reasons ruling,
          for nothing costs
          this conscious cause;
          not anymore
          to bleed my bruises.
