Gardenias and Cigarettes
Ana Silvera

Water on shingle and vagrant hours

That stumble round this sunstruck town

And white lantern blossoms

With torn off wings

Break from their branches

With pale yearning


Oh my mind came unmoored in the night

You set it adrift

With a kiss that was sweeter

Than anyone else's

That I've known before then or since

Oh gardenias and cheap cigarettes

On your mouth and your fingers I tasted


In the name, on the hands and the back of love

Ships were raised and lovers fought

And the Gods above watched from a ringside box


As cities were wasted to ashes and dust


I saw you go through a low window

By the idle tide of dusk

And I should have seen through those arrows and bows

That even golden apples rust


Oh my mind came unmoored in the night

You set it adrift

With a kiss that was sweeter

Than anyone else's

That I've known before then or since

Oh gardenias and cheap cigarettes

And the ghost of the touch of your fingers
