The Encounter (Transcript)

I.

She beckoned me with a subtle gesture

After we had met on Fridays

Sweet in her enunciated diction

Blue eyes shining with otherworldly intelligence

Sophisticated and virile

I first declined the invitation.



II.

My heart too easily flies along the telegraph lines

To her warm bed

I saw no wrong in it

She loved me and I loved her too.

That night there were none of her long words

That made me happy

I come from the Asian immigrants of the 1950s...

-And gave me more delight than any poem-

All discussion dissolved swimming through

The tender Aquarian deeps into a deeper communication

With one another.



III.

It's only in her feminine embrace

That a man learns how to cry again.

For what had lasted before but was lost

And for what couldn't last again, this-

As her word was given to the other

I have her and I have lost her.
