Great poem, Tzara. You're the master of enjambment. I think, however, ending it at after the 5th stanza would have made it better. "Want" (in italics) sounds so climactic.

You're probably right, gm. That would make the start and end words "love" and "want," which is kinda what the poem is about. I think.

I don't want to give up that last line, though, however dopey it may be. I love the sound of it. But one of the first rules of poetry is: Don't fall in love with a line. (Or a phrase, or image, or whatever...)

So, yeah. Point taken and appreciated.

"when we know how to talk" was my favorite line until i got to your last stanza. this is a delight to read out loud. thank you for sharing it.
