DEAD SONG

by Ania Nowakowska




In my love-soaked bed,
Angels came to kiss my head.
I caught one gown
And wrestled her down
To be my girl in death town.
She will not fly.
She has promised to die.
What a clever corpse am I!


Dead Song by Leonard Cohen,
from The Spice-Box of Earth &
Selected Poems 1956-1968
