Les Barricades Mysterieuses We shall never touch no never Because of our shifting shell Though I know your mind so well. We cannot comfort – never Even in the acts of love Some mysterious veil Prevents the two to one. The resolution never comes But only modulation, key to key Auroras of sweet memory, Dancing near an arctic sea Weaving in and out. Green and red and azure flow Unreachable, along magnetic lines. They prevent the getting through of love And waste our while. Smiles and mercy Never can be shone. We live and die alone, Bathed in dark chaconnes Of lonely mystery. Carl Estrin
