i am dumb beside your body




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 blooms like tumors on our lips

it is because I hear a man climb stairs

and clear his throat outside our door.

 
from "Poem" by Leonard Cohen
