ROOM #789 <\/p>\n
We two were in love with the same woman of the wind <\/p>\n
You married her knowing my presence and her coffee <\/p>\n
And put up with the nameless cats she endlessly kissed. <\/p>\n
Being friends for ages, she always wanted to have breakfast <\/p>\n
with me, no, she sometimes wanted me to see her to see, like Emily, <\/p>\n
when you had to watch a weekend-football-game on TV, <\/p>\n
Only then was I chosen to be a mate for coffee by the sea. <\/p>\n
All throughout the twelve years of love\u2019s grinding labour <\/p>\n
She once asked me to knead her shoulders near you <\/p>\n
And thanked me whispering how healing hands I had. <\/p>\n
I seemed not to hear the red in your stray dog looks <\/p>\n
You heard her cypress tree murmur me my long lost thrush <\/p>\n
And I couldn\u2019t see the jinns loitering in your coffee berry <\/p>\n
We two were coronated sister and brother for sure <\/p>\n
We two were Mary Anne\u2019s Tom and Maggie in eternity. <\/p>\n
And there she was lying in her snow-ridden early death-bed <\/p>\n
She asked nobody in the hospital room, quietly nobody else <\/p>\n
but me to rub off the pain in her slowly purpling ankles <\/p>\n
and the feet that took her beyond the blossoming city hills <\/p>\n
and the feet that passed by endless shops and island palaces <\/p>\n
and the feet that defied gravity in some Holly Golightly rush <\/p>\n
and the feet that never braked when I was singing freely. <\/p>\n
We three took our sacks of wheat to the mill of Istanbul love <\/p>\n
You got the woman, I got to name the two cats after her and tea. <\/p>\n
