Threnody - Here is the list

here is the list - youth, 

                          energy, 

                          virility 

                          all are gone!

here is the list - love,

                          passion, 

                          ecstasy 

                          all are lost!

here are the words -

and her reply -

this is what we lost -

here is the list -

here is the list -breasts, 

                          thighs, 

                          lips 

                          no more,no more!

this is what we missed -

and what we let go -

this is the death -

this is what I said -

this is what she heard - 

this is what I wrote -

and her reply -

 this is what was silenced -

this was her beauty -

this her thrall -

this is her leaving -

and her scream -

                            I did not hear

and this is what comes -
