If You Neglect Me
I need you to know
one factor.
You know the way that is:
if I look
on the crystal moon, on the crimson department
of the sluggish autumn at my window,
if I contact
close to the hearth
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled physique of the log,
the whole lot carries me to you,
as if the whole lot that exists,
aromas, gentle, metals,
had been little boats
that sail
towards these isles of yours that look ahead to me.
Properly, now,
if little by little you cease loving me
I shall cease loving you little by little.
If instantly
you neglect me
don’t search for me,
for I shall have already got forgotten you.
If you happen to suppose it lengthy and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes by means of my life,
and also you resolve
to depart me on the shore
of the center the place I’ve roots,
bear in mind
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall elevate my arms
and my roots will set off
to hunt one other land.
However
if every day,
every hour,
you are feeling that you’re destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if every day a flower
climbs as much as your lips to hunt me,
ah my love, ah my very own,
in me all that fireplace is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds in your love, beloved,
and so long as you reside it will likely be in your arms
with out leaving mine.
