In the paradise of language The ecstasy of words They are to one another Drivers on the birds When the romance of a secret Imagined rendezvous In the paradise of language Where everything is true His hands traverse the landscape Of letter lines and dots The anonymous seduction An ecstasy of thoughts He has them fly to Paris Imagines how she laughs In a fragile consummation Contained in paragraphs She seats him at a café Arranging light and scene Until his every gesture Is all her heart could mean She'll shape and shift the story With a lover's care Then send one perfect kiss Into the evening air In the paradise of language She's lying in his arms They are to one another This fertile fields to farms Lost in a pristine passion The timeless rendezvous In the paradise of language Where everything is true
