Consider My Self Given

Filed under Creations + Hero + Soul

I heard of a man
who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name
women give themselves to him.

If I am dumb beside your body
while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips,
it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside the door.

- Leonard Cohen
“Let Us Compare Mythologies”
