Letter from New York

Ana Silvera
Pin your name upon my sweater"¨
And walk with me to the launderette"¨
We'll watch my socks play tag together"¨
Hear the buttons sing, see the moon's ascent"¨
"¨I'll say your hair has grown much longer"¨
But I think that you should keep it that way"¨
Oh it's so fine here in September"¨
When the river's red, and the sky's dove grey..."¨
"¨Two dollar psychic around my corner
I'll say 'Did you see me coming?'"¨
But I guess she's heard that one before"¨"¨And in her deck, there lives a viper"¨
And a prince with lions and unshared troubles at his door"¨
"¨Well, I know death, it's a foreign country"¨
It left me breathless, it left me rich and made me poor"¨"¨ And I have made myself an island -"¨
But I don't mind if you come ashore"¨
And here is my letter, like I promised from New York
