Garden of Delights

 
I gave you things
I gave you what I didn't have at hand

I gave you the sea of my body
I gave you the sugar I had
under the fingernails

there were algae in your hair
but there were no leaves on the ground

I gave you an umbrella
to walk your faces in the garden
I gave you everything that was not in me

there were roses on your elbows
but I didn't see petals on the floor

I gave you my hand
but you threw me to the ground
you covered your ears and pretended
not to have my eyes on your hand
