DARLING

http://www.poetryclub.com.ua/getpoem.php?id=344898


not  yet  my  darling
you  shouldn’t  yet…
return  to  your  garden  tree  for  now
you’ll  taste  your  forbidden  fruit  one  day
but  Lilith  and  Eve  entreated  me
I  do  have  to  murder  Abel  yet
meander  as  Cain  in  agony
to  Israel  crawl  intrepidly
as  old  unremitting  Abraham  
and  lie  down  beneath  my  father’s  knife
as  Isaac  for  all  humanity
and  challenge  the  Lord  defiantly
as  Jacob  in  his  insanity
I  have  to  defeat  Goliath  yet
as  destitute  naked  prodigy
bemoan  my  mistreated  fatherland
with  tears  of  relentless  prophecy
…  …  …
but  when  on  the  way  to  Eternity
I  set  out  with  the  old  cross,  staggering    
trust  me  darling  
you  will  return  to  me
long-awaited…
as  Mary…
Magdalene…
…  …  …
