Wisteria (Song for Charlotte Salomon)

Under trains of wisteria
underneath many things
Charlotte is superfluous
and stained by the amethyst
bines overhead
they hang down and entangle
the air with her hair

Don’t go back

It was yesterday, it was spring
it was many things—
violet and violent
impatient and poisonous
bines overhead
they hang down and entangle
me there, with her there

Don’t go back
Don’t go back
Don’t go back
Don’t go back

Come back come back come back
come back come back come back come back

Sit down with me here
underneath the withering wisteria
binding over head
they hang down and entangle
the living with the dead

Don’t go back
Don’t go back
Don’t go back
Come back

and I will break
the bower down
