Plunges /Before and after/ Epiphany

 

Many men I loved

Many men loved me

but why oh why, Ferlinghetti

under the Cypress tree?

 

Why not where the cedars grow

why not on a mountain slope

and in the garden of delight

accompanied with  party dope


Or on a shelf, by the sea

where nobody can listen

to the sounds of him and me

or steal or change the vision


Many men I loved

many men loved me

so let me gather in

the fair epiphany

 

Before is always after

and after is before

and some men do the plunge

an action I adore


Some stay for ever on the fringe

of this & that to do

then very much belated

try the steps of kangaroo

 

And when they are belated

there´s nothing love can do

it´s time and chance and courage

they should have broken through


Sweet Kierkegaard did tell 

to consider choices well

and then to jump with vigour

be it heaven, be it hell
