She loves

She loves you,

like the bitter frost

loves winter’s cold, true

passage.


She needs you,

like the weary desert traveller

needs the mirage’s ghostly

presence.


She wants you,

like the cranking windmill

wants the wind’s battering

embrace.


She’s lost you,

like the tired lighthouse

has lost so many ships

passing.
